Return to the rumor

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yiyang's birthday, the first snow falls in Xindu.

The banquet was held in the princess' mansion. The well-known women in Beijing received invitations last month, carefully selected gifts, and wished they could pluck the stars, sun and moon from the sky and share them with Yiyang.

Since Yiyang has grown up to be a slim woman with bright wrists, the emperor, the prince of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness King Lu are men, although they are fathers and brothers, so it is inconvenient for them to attend the banquet.As usual, Yiyang should enter the palace this morning to greet his father and brother, listen to some teachings, and receive some rewards and gifts.However, the road was not clear due to the snow, and the cold wind was howling and the road was wet and slippery, so it was inconvenient to travel, so the emperor sent Zhang Ji, the deputy head of the imperial court, to pass the message, telling her to have a good time and enjoy the banquet.

Among the group of female relatives and beauties, there are also a few who are afraid of the cold or weak, but most of them are invited to accompany in twos and threes.Dressed in thick fox fur, holding a warm hand stove, and wearing felt boots of various colors, after slowly stepping into the hall of the princess mansion covered with earth dragons, it adds warmth to the whole body.

Although Yiyang is used to being pampered, he is not a stingy master, and handles the minutiae of human relationships very solemnly.

This time, seeing all the guests coming here in both wind and snow, Yiyang has fulfilled his duties as the host with all his heart and soul. After giving him a seat to watch tea, he was smiling on the high seat. Whether he is married or not, mother or bride, he is with her Negotiate a few words, chatter about boudoir anecdotes and trivial household chores.

At first, everything went smoothly and harmoniously, until there was a wife who was entrusted by her husband and wanted to make a marriage for her son to be successful, and she had a hearty chat and said with a shameless smile: "Speaking of it, My Ling'er and His Highness still have some fate, born in the same year, one at the beginning of the year and the other at the end of the year."

According to the law of Jin Dynasty, seven days after the 15th birthday of the daughter of the royal clan, the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion will submit a candidate for a son-in-law to the emperor, and the emperor will decide.Although Yiyang's marriage age has been delayed to this year, the rules cannot be broken.The picture of this lady is obvious.

After all, there was a silence.

In just a moment, it boiled like a hot pot of boiling water. Those with sons, wives, and officials and ladies without sons were all chattering and chattering for their own interests.

Chi Liangjun stood on the sidelines, from "My son and His Highness are a few years apart, but their birthdays are on the same day" to "My son and His Highness are in harmony, so it can be called a golden marriage" to "My son and His Highness are both in the same marriage." Zhou Sheng" and finally to "My son and His Highness generally have double peach blossom eyes", and so on, he frowned and coughed lightly to warn, but no one heard him in the noise.

In the end, Yiyang put down the teacup, and even though he made a soft sound when it touched the wooden table, the room gradually became silent.

Only the high-ranking and high-ranking lady wanted to smooth things over, but she saw Yiyang get up, and said with a faint smile: "Perhaps there is enough charcoal fire, which makes people warm and lazy. I am tired, so I will go back to my room for a light sleep." , all the delicacies and sauces in the mansion are pre-set, so please be polite."

Yiyang left, and Chi Liangjun also hurriedly followed, fearing that the misfortune master would run amok and cause trouble.

They watched the two leave dumbfoundedly, and after everyone reacted, they mercilessly gouged out the lady who raised the issue first. Since Yiyang, whom they were trying to curry favor with, has already left, what's the point of staying here?Everyone dispersed on their own, and came back through the snow with a disheveled face.

Slap Kaifeng mud, the aroma of wine is overflowing.

Poured a full glass on the wine cup, Yiyang wanted to drink, but was stopped by Chi Liangjun, he pointed out, with a bitter face: "The old wine dug out from under the peach tree according to your order , it’s such a cold day, why don’t you drink it after warming it up?”

Yiyang stopped his movements and looked out following what he was pointing—it snowed heavily all night and half a day, and the cornices and brackets were covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, as if covered with a layer of soft but thick plain quilt, tall and withered. Snow has accumulated on the fallen branches, and the cold wind blows, trembling and swaying, shaking off fine snowdrops from time to time, fluttering into the knee-high snow, and disappearing.

It snowed heavily.

The snow is so deep that it is difficult for people to walk.

She... must have been unable to come because of the snow.

But here it is... so what?

Taking advantage of Yiyang's distracted time, Chi Liangjun hurriedly asked people to warm up the wine quickly, and then served some dishes.

After everything was over, he winked again to make everyone retreat, and said to Yiyang: "Your Highness—Lu He really doesn't know good from bad, and it was out of good intentions that you invited Ju Mengbai here, even though those smart-minded The monkey cub passed on the word and changed his appearance, and the doctor also said that Ju Mengbai had been suffering from a serious illness, and his sudden death this time has nothing to do with going to Beijing. But you don’t see it as Lu He thought. Human life is worthless, why don't you explain it to her? To be honest, Your Highness has devoted [-]% to [-]% of her attention to her these days, and worked hard. If you didn't protect her with all your strength, her words and deeds that day It’s time for repairs and rectification.”

The wine has a strong aroma, and the wine has a pungent taste, but it doesn't reduce the sorrow and sense of loss.

"Explain?" Yi Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, and poured himself another full cup, "Since I am such a person in her eyes and in her heart, will she listen to me when I explain to her? Fear is also mostly out of fear. If I can't look forward to it, I won't look forward to it. I humbly beg someone to believe me, but I don't want to."

Hearing this, Chi Liangjun thought of her behavior in recent days, and couldn't help muttering: "If you don't look forward to it, why bother to keep that collection of poems and essays to see things hurt?"

The slender hand holding the golden cup and wine cup paused slightly, Yiyang drooped his eyes and raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes were tightly covered by his fine and slender eyelashes, and it was difficult to distinguish his emotions: "If you don't tell me, I will forget it. give her."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door——

Chi Liangjun was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be in front of Yiyang, walked out in stride, and shouted all the way with his voice drawn out: "Who is so ignorant?"

Opening the door, the person outside the door was wearing a big cloak, with frost and snow falling on his hair and shoulders.

"Yo, rare visitor—Master Lu!" Chi Liangjun opened his mouth wide, pretending to be stunned, and his voice was so high that it almost resounded through the sky. Liquid, but a happy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu He was slightly startled, then cupped his hands and said to him, "Master Chi..."

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by Chi Liangjun to the platform, where there was also thick snow, and his feet sank into the deep bottom without any preparation, it was soft and bitingly cold.

After all, men and women are different. After Chi Liangjun dragged her into the snow, he immediately ordered a few maids to take off Lu He's cloak, and then desperately stuffed snow balls into her official boots.

Lu He understood it, and let them toss themselves into misery. When a gust of cold wind blew, their noses itched, they sneezed several times in a row.

"You were outside the door just now—can you hear everything clearly?"

Lu He nodded, but remained silent.

Chi Liangjun became angry when he saw her like this, and he didn't show a good face at the moment, and said directly to her: "If it weren't for my soft-heartedness, I wouldn't see my highness being wronged, let alone my highness acting like a different person all day long. I'm unhappy, but I'm too lazy to care about such things. You go in, don't say anything good, she only needs to look at you a few times to be happy, no matter what happens, the Sanqing God will not be able to keep you! "

Yiyang is drinking in the house.

After drinking three or four cups, he still sat upright and looked indifferent.

After five or six cups, I couldn't help but stood up and listened.

After drinking two more cups, I was shocked and courageous, and kept walking in circles. I searched for a bronze mirror for a while to adjust my makeup, and for a while I picked out a flower and a phoenix hairpin from the dowry.

After a while, he touched the jade ring on his waist again, rubbed it in his palm.

Surrounded by silence, so quiet that one could hear the heartbeat beating like a drum, the warm and smooth texture, touching the jade ring made Yiyang gradually calm down.

Surprise, panic, panic, apprehension... The feelings of Lin Lin always felt because of the sudden appearance of Lu He cooled down, faded, and turned into an old scar that he didn't want to touch, buried in his heart.

Afterwards, she carefully took off the jade jue again, put it beside the desk, sat down as if nothing had happened, and drank the wine.

"Your Highness." Lu He, who was dressed in plain plain, walked into the room and bowed to Yiyang to salute.

Yiyang didn't respond, as if he didn't see her out of the corner of his eyes, he drank the wine alone, his cheeks were unnaturally red because of the charcoal fire of the earth dragon or the alcohol.

"Today...is His Highness's birthday. I have given you a small gift, which is humble and humble. I hope His Highness will be merciful." Lu He took out a delicately woven grass cricket from his arms, put it on with both hands, and caught a glimpse of the cricket in the corner of the table. Yu Jue suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

When Ju Mengbai passed away, she only thought it was Yiyang's revenge for what she had done, so she really hated Yiyang to [-]%, and almost strangled her to death.In a few days, Chi Liangjun came to deal with Ju Mengbai's funeral together with her, and from time to time he talked about the ins and outs of the hidden story, making her know that Ju Mengbai's death was not what Yiyang wanted, but that she really wanted someone urgently. , the subordinates inexplicably changed their tone when passing on the message, and when they arrived in Yunzhou, the head of a hundred households treated Ju Mengbai as a prisoner.It's true, but Lu He naturally refused to believe it easily, and Chi Liangjun didn't force her, he just ordered her to come to the banquet today to find out a thing or two, there must be a distinction between right and wrong, right?

"Since I am a person who treats human life as a trifling matter, why would I care about such a crap like you? Even if you take this jade ring away, you go too, don't get in my eyes." Yiyang grabbed the jade ring and casually After throwing it away, Lu He's eyes were inevitably in sight.

The four corners of the house are burning high-quality red charcoal, which makes the surroundings warm.

Lu He was trembling all over.

The thin clothes were covered with wind and frost, the hem of the clothes was stiff like icicles, there was a pool of water stains from melting snow under the feet, and the satin surface of the official boots was also wet with a dark shadow.The backs of the hands holding the cricket were red and slightly stiff, on the delicate neck were bloodless diamond lips, and the cheeks were pale and pale.

Yiyang couldn't help frowning, his throat moved, but he didn't say a word.

But suddenly, his mind was shaken again, his face was cold and his voice was calm: "The visitor is a guest, so you may as well take a seat in order to avoid accusing me of being arrogant and arrogant for no reason."

After Lu He took his seat in his gown, there was a hand stove on the table in front of him, a few inches away, warm and warm.

"In order to prevent Mr. Lu from being in a bad mood, it is inconvenient to wear mourning for your respected and respected gentleman, please don't refuse." After drinking a pot of old wine, Yiyang really lost his mind.

Lu He put the cricket on the table, and put the hand stove in his palm to cover it. After a moment of silence, he said: "Your Highness——was also my student."

Yiyang sneered: "Student?" She looked at her quietly, "You just want to be my husband, but I don't want to just be your student."

As soon as these words came out, pink came out from the back of Lu He's ears. She touched the carvings on the furnace body uneasily, and said embarrassingly: "Your Highness, I... I am not in the mood for love right now... Besides, after seven days, the son-in-law It is established that you should get married at this time next year, you and I have no chance..."

"You said that you are not in the mood for love right now. What if you get revenge one day? Will you be willing to be with me forever?"

Lu He was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I can't repay you for treating me well. This misunderstanding of you has already made me feel very sad, and the matter of revenge and redress is close to death. I don't want to drag you down. There are always young men of the right age who can make a golden marriage with His Highness..."

"Do you only agree, or do you not want to." Drag?She doesn't care, not only doesn't care, she is willing to live and die with her in wealth and honor.

Yiyang stared at her with burning eyes, not daring to miss the slightest movement of his eyes, for fear that he would not be able to read her heart or understand her slander.

Lu He was silent, the hand stove in her palm was warm and palpable, and it gradually warmed her body, which was a painstaking trick, and made her mind and mind more clear-headed. In those sincere and warm peach blossom eyes, there is no driftwood to lean on, but there is no need to worry about whether you will drown or die. The bottom of the water is hot, turbulent, and frightening undercurrents, but it is also warm and peaceful, and death is like life hotbed.

Lu He lowered his head, his eyes full of sadness: "I don't want to."

Yi Yang immediately asked, "Why?"

"On the day when my wish is fulfilled, Your Highness has already married and become a wife. The joy of bed*Gaotang, maybe I will become a mother again. Why did I agree to marry you forever?"

Yiyang smiled, her eyes were drunk, blurred but charming, totally different from the past.

"Happiness in bed? *Gaotang?" She put one hand on the table, leaned close to Lu He, smiled coquettishly and softly, "If you agree with me, I will protect you like a jade, Huan*Gaotang can only accept Huan under your body."

Lu He was startled when he heard the words, his face was burning red, he moved back a little, not daring to look at her, and only whispered: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you are drunk."

"How can I not be drunk? Counting the days, from cock crowing to sunset, I am so happy to hear your sporadic news. Every day I secretly think about sending someone to invite you to my house. Forget it, it’s good to just sit and say a few words—no, it’s good to just watch you quietly. But thinking about what you did to me that day, I put these worthless thoughts on my own To overthrow one by one, you wish to kill me and hurry up, but I still love you so much?"

"Your Highness, I..."

"Shut up." Yi Yang reprimanded softly, but his eyebrows and eyes were extremely soft, and Lu He, who couldn't help but look a little trembling as he stepped back, gradually approached, and hugged her in his arms before she was about to collide with the hard mica screen.

He lowered his head again, wanting to kiss her thin lips.

Lu He hurriedly stopped it with his hands, his voice was extremely low due to restraint and depression: "Your Highness...you are very drunk."

"I'm drunk, but I'm very sober." Yiyang smiled lightly, took her wrist casually, and simply kissed her crimson palm warmed by the stove, "Wen Qinghe, you don't even know, I miss you I was going crazy thinking about it. Today, I have grown up for eighteen years, and I know that my spine is so soft when I met you, and I bowed my head to you in front of you without any wind or rain. .”

Suddenly, Yiyang's heartfelt words melted into Lu He's heart unexpectedly, for a moment he forgot to be ashamed, let alone take out his hand, and let her hold it tightly.

The distance between the two was so close that Lu He could clearly see the red marks on Yiyang's neck that had not faded just by raising his eyes. strangled in her hands.

Like a ghost, Lu He stepped forward with his other hand and touched it lightly——after noticing that Yiyang's hand holding his wrist trembled slightly, the sadness in his heart surged up again.

"Does it still hurt?" Lu He raised his eyes to Yiyang, looking at the blurred and drunken eyes in front of him, thinking that Yiyang should cry again when he took the medicine, but how could she hold back tears that day?

Yi Yang looked down, frowned and said: "After meeting with the guests, I went back to my room. It was very hot in the wing room, so I changed my clothes. Why did I forget to fix my appearance..." She suddenly felt that she had missed the point He closed his mouth, coughed lightly and turned around, "You shouldn't have seen it."

Should Lu He not be allowed to see her scars, or should Lu He not be allowed to see her desire to please herself, or both?

Lu He remained silent, and Yi Yang blurted out in a flustered state: "You...don't worry—"

worry?Will Lu He worry about himself?

Yiyang paused for a moment before saying: "Don't feel guilty, I slapped my skin with a light touch and it was a red mark, and now it doesn't hurt anymore. Besides, although I didn't intend to hurt Mr. Ju, Mr. Ju did because of I died, you beat me and scolded me, I admit it."

Lu He is also a careful person, discerning the subtle changes between the two sentences, felt a little distressed in his heart, shook his head and said: "Your Highness is wrong, I am more worried than guilty."

"D-seriously?" Just one word made Yiyang jump for joy, completely forgetting himself, and asked while the iron was hot, "You...you answered?"

"Yes?" Lu He didn't realize it for a moment, took a closer look and hurriedly pulled out his hand, straightened the messy skirt, and said solemnly, "These two things are not related."

Xu's hand clenched into an empty fist was stagnant in the void, Yiyang stared at it for a long time, realized something, and smiled at Lu He: "I kiss you, but you can't hide or block, at least you don't hate me, the years are long and promising ,I'll hold."

"I don't hide or block, just to avoid overstepping."

Lu He hung his head, feeling extremely guilty.Yiyang smiled again, gently lifted her chin with his index finger, and tilted his head slightly: "Really? How about Mr. taking off his clothes now and making red waves with me?"

"...Your Highness!" Lu He tried his best to turn his head away, but he was completely blushed to the base of his neck because of this awkward posture, and said angrily, "Your Highness is my princess, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds! "

Yiyang chuckled: "Yes, sir, I know I was wrong."

After finishing speaking, he leaned closer for a few minutes, his eyes lingered on her slightly pursed lips for a while, and finally landed a light kiss on her left cheek, tasted it lightly like a dragonfly, closed his eyes slightly and pursed his lower lip, There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, like a dream come true, hearty and aftertaste.

Such a cautious Yiyang made Lu He's heart soften. After pondering for a moment, he looked at her sideways and said, "King Lu presented a court lady to His Majesty. It is said that she is quite similar to Empress Yici, and she has won His Majesty's favor." Fortunately, since ancient times, the bewitching words of relatives in the harem can easily shake the emperor's heart to establish a crown prince. His Highness and his compatriots in the East Palace are both prosperous and damaged. Your Highness should not be careless and risk your life for mere mere me. disaster."

It was originally a warm remonstrance, but Yiyang's heart warmed when he heard it, his peach eyes bent into crescents, hugged Lu He's waist tightly, and buried his head on her chest: "You are worried about me."

It's not questioning but determination, the determination that makes her truly see death as home and fight to the death.

Lu He finally sighed, forced himself out of Yiyang's embrace, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I am here today to celebrate your birthday and to apologize for misunderstanding you that day. Even so, I Mister's bones are still not cold, and her death is not completely unrelated to His Highness, I... can't get over the hurdle in my heart, so please Your Highness choose someone else."

Biyun Temple.

Qiaoqing brought a cup of tofu soup from the stove, put it on the wooden table, and was about to go back to work, but was called away by Jingci who was standing by the window.

Outside the window, in the snow, under the moonlight, there is a half-person-high snowman standing out from the white snow, and it has already begun to take shape.Tangci in the brocade robe and jade belt took two short dead branches from nowhere and used them as eyes. Rou Ke in a kilt picked up a ball of snow from the ground, rubbed it into a ball in her palm, and placed it on the snowman's face. On, talk about the nose.

Tangci waited quietly for a moment, seeing her slender fingers loosen from Xue's nose, he rushed forward, took hold of the back of her hand, which was red from the frost and snow, wrapped it tightly, and brought it to his mouth to breathe hot air .Rou Ke didn't know what she had said to her, her face was full of smiles, the hot air she exhaled mixed with hers, lingering in the dark night, shrouding the two of them in the ambiguous warmth of the midwinter and early snow. in the breath.

"This child Rou Ke... When did you get along so well with her?" Jing Ci watched the two of them for a long time, but because Rou Ke told her before, Tang Ci's words were full of dissatisfaction. She concealed her distaste, so this time the two returned to Beijing from Liangzhou and invited them to visit her together, which really made her feel puzzled.

Hearing this, Qiaoqing looked back and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a good thing? Madame doesn't know that Mr. Tang has been selected as the county horse!"

Although the words are light, Qiao Qing doesn't know why his young lady is so stubborn and stubborn, and even a fierce person who puts her youth and reputation behind her, would like to resign from such a frail scholar who can't carry a fortune or pull mountains and rivers.

"Junma?" Although Jingci, who was calm by nature, raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her voice a little, the astonishment in her heart was clearly revealed.

Rou Ke's original intention was to kiss Jing Ci with Tang Ci after everything was settled. Qiao Qing was straightforward and quick-spoken for a while, but now she knew that the water would be hard to stop. Fortunately, it was not something unhumane, so she closed the window and led Jingci walked in, and said to her: "The marriage edict was issued only a few days ago, and it is reasonable for Madam not to know. Maybe the princess and Mr. Tang went to Liangzhou to help the people. It may not be certain that they will fall in love after a long time The servant is a servant, and did not go to Liangzhou with the princess. I only know a little about these things, but I have no way of knowing how deep they are. I want to tell you solemnly, I don’t want my servant to say anything, Madam don’t blame me.”

Jingci smiled lightly, stroked the back of her hand, and said to her: "How can you blame me? Rou Ke has been delayed for 12 years because of that innumerable marriage edict. If she hadn't been so stubborn and unable to persuade her, I would have kicked her out a long time ago." Going out to get married. Now she has figured it out by herself, but Tang Ci is also a rare person with both talent and appearance in my eyes, and I am too happy."

Dinner is light and mainly vegetarian.

Jing Ci sat in the middle, Tang Ci and Rou Ke sat on one side, Chun Hua and Qiao Qing sat on the other side.

There is no distinction between master and servant during the banquet, chatting and laughing are informal and enjoyable.

Tangci and Rouke each offered a cup of tea to Jingci, and respectfully told her about their marriage. Jingci took it with a smile on her face and drank it all. Xiang Tang said teasingly: "Although women pay attention to three obediences and four virtues after they get married, if Rouke suffers any grievances from you, I will definitely not forgive you. Marrying a daughter-in-law is for love, although there are no setbacks in the officialdom Tribulations, how can a man stand upright? Even if he can't bear it, he can just ask me for counseling, but he can't take it out on his wife and children when he is frustrated like those prodigal children."

Tang Ci nodded and said yes: "What you said is that I will love Ah Wei well." She smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, while Rou Ke beside her was blushing slightly.

Although Jingci has been with Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for twelve years, she is almost isolated from the world and doesn't care about court affairs, but she still cares about the people after all.

Knowing her temperament, Tang Ci and Rou Ke also picked some interesting things to tell her in detail during the meal, trying to avoid those things that are contemptuous of the common people, so that she would be less worried and more happy.But when it comes to Liwei in Liangzhou for the first time, it is inevitable to mention Cao Zhen.

Jingci heard this, and sighed: "At the time of the late emperor, Liangzhou's political envoy was a real man who swayed his sleeves and gave money. He is also honest, and often speaks bluntly and remonstrates to offend Longyan. I was imprisoned several times, and even though they were all pardoned and released in the end, it was like walking on a cliff with iron chains." He smiled again, with memories of the past in his eyes, "Once——my daughter, Ayue, was arrested when she was one year old. Zhou, instead of picking up all kinds of gadgets on the table, grabbed a writing brush from the pen stand and giggled non-stop. Her father taught her to hold a writing brush, lit ink, and waited for someone to fetch a piece of paper. Seeing her dragging out a decent word 'one' on the wooden table, she burst into laughter from ear to ear. This year's imperial examination, the examiner used this as a topic, but it made the chief executive unhappy. Baili rushed to send the reference book, impeaching the examiner for deliberately flattering the Holy One with bad intentions."

Jingci seemed to be trapped in the vortex of memories and couldn't extricate herself. She sat in her seat for a long time without speaking, and the smile on Tangci's mouth gradually faded.

Seeing that the two of them were silent for a while, Rou Ke picked up chopsticks for the two of them one after another, and smiled slightly: "Auntie doesn't know, but we brought back a little girl from Liangzhou, who is very sensible and well-behaved. If it wasn't for the snowfall today It is cold, and she is not used to the weather here when she first arrived in the capital, so I should have brought her here to see you, and it will definitely be fun."

"You have thought it through, most of the children are weak and can't stand the cold, and the mountain temple in the suburbs of Beijing is much colder than in the city. There will be a long time in the future. Don't rush for a while. When the weather is sunny and warm, you will bring her—oh, why not Rongyue also brought it, and only two little girls of the same age can play together, and they can't hang around an old lady like me all day long."

"Since when has Auntie been an old lady?" Tang Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, very dissatisfied, and leaned over, resting her head on her knees as a gesture of intimacy, "But I haven't seen you for a month or two, I just feel that Auntie is young again A little bit, the brilliance shines on people."

Jingci only felt that Tangci was about the same age as her own children, and that she was chosen as Rouke's county horse by imperial edict this time, so it was understandable to have a closer relationship with her, so she patted her head with a smile and said to Rouke : "When she gets along with you, she is also so clever and flattering, coaxing people's hearts so warm?"

Rou Ke sighed softly, then smiled helplessly: "It's even worse."

Ministry of Punishment.

Because Hu Laiyan had attached great importance to Lu He before, and in addition to King Lu's instructions, since Lu He was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, he has also treated Lu He with courtesy, and regarded her as a confidant who focused on training.

On that day, Hu Laiyan and Lu He were having a chat over tea in the hall of the Yamen Office, when a servant rushed over, bowed his hands to the two of them, and said solemnly: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Lu and Lord Han invite you to Huixianlou Wai Enjoy the snow from the stove."

Although Hu Laiyan is a big man, he is very afraid of the cold. Looking out the window, he feels like he is in an ice cave. He shivered fiercely, folded his hands, and said impatiently: "Some people say yes For what?"

King Lu is weak, and Han Ru is over fifty years old, he has never been a romantic person, and the words of sitting around the stove to enjoy the snow are just an excuse.

The guard glanced at Lu He, saw that she was only reading the files quietly, and then looked at Hu Laiyan's eyes. He obviously had no defense against Lu He, so he replied respectfully: "I don't know the specifics... I just don't know. I heard that Princess Yiyang entered the palace to pay her respects to His Majesty as usual, after a while, the servants waiting outside the palace heard that there seemed to be a dispute inside, and the teacups were smashed..."

"Hahaha——!" Before the guard could finish speaking, Hu Laiyan, who had been at odds with Yiyang for a long time, stood up and stroked his beard. He was so happy that he forgot about Lu He behind him, and grabbed the cloak from the hanger with his head held high. Put it on and go outside.

What did Yiyang say to the emperor that would make the emperor who had always pampered and doted on her furious?

After Lu He thought about it, his heart became more and more panicked. He couldn't read the file on the table for a long time, and hurriedly took the tooth card and left in a thin dress, but he forgot even the thick fox fur. put on.

Yiyang and Emperor Chunyou were talking about marriage.

After entering the palace, she greeted the emperor in a polite manner, and she was also smart and sensible, showing off her cuteness, beating her legs and shoulders, serving tea and joking.

After all, the emperor is an emperor who has insight into the details. After a while, he can see that his daughter will definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall today, and Nianxu asked her with a smile. The family background and appearance are all passable, even if the family background is poor, they can still be promoted.

Seeing that the emperor was coaxed into a good mood by himself, Xu Shi of Yiyang borrowed a lot of courage from somewhere and put it in his arms to ask for a will - saying that he was reluctant to part with his father and did not want to marry someone else.

After all, the emperor is a man with big eyes and a big heart. He was stunned for a moment, laughed, and coaxed her to tell her not to be shy. Which young master did he take a fancy to?

If the word "Lu He" hidden in the bottom of my heart is revealed, I'm afraid I won't even bother to talk about it. But considering the tragic end of the female concubine Di Lan during the Emperor Dezong's reign, Yiyang dare not even take the slightest risk.

Yiyang was still tight-lipped, wrapped around Emperor Chunyou's arm and squeezed out a few tears, very pitiful.

Ordinarily, everything is going on as usual, and Emperor Chunyou must hasten to respond to Yiyang's request, but the bad thing is that there is always a variable like Cheng Yaojin popping up halfway——

At that time, Concubine Ning, who had recently been favored by Emperor Chunyou, came without passing through. She held a plate of pastries she made herself, put them on the table, and waited quietly by the side, at first she did not speak.

Then, she fed the cake to the emperor—half of the cake, and Concubine Ning bit off the other half herself. The peach-colored lip fat was burned on the edge of the pale cake, restrained and flirtatious, and she moved it to the emperor's mouth. The emperor sniffed it slightly, With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he licked the lip stained with fat, and then bit down contentedly.

Once upon a time, the emperor also treated his mother and concubine in this way. The peachy lip fat came back like a lingering nightmare after many years.

Yiyang turned his face away, and unconsciously showed disgust on his face.

Concubine Ning took the second piece of pastry and handed it to Yiyang with a sweet smile.

Since Yi Yang wanted something from the emperor at this moment, it was inconvenient for Yi Yang to show his temper, so he had to pick it up blankly, took a sip and put it aside.

Seeing this, Concubine Ning apologized to the emperor and said that she was not good at cooking, which made Her Royal Highness laugh.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Yiyang's expression on Concubine Ning's unkindness, without saying anything, his expression was already a little displeased.

There was only one piece of pastry on the left and right, Yiyang endured it, squeezed a piece of cake and ate it like chewing wax, and praised Concubine Ning in a sarcastic way.

Because she was familiar with Yiyang's temper, it was not easy for her to do this, the emperor's expression softened a little.

Yiyang pursued the emperor's promise to delay his marriage while the iron was hot.

Concubine Ning smiled weakly when she heard this, and said to the emperor that there is no reason why a daughter is always clinging to her father and does not want to marry. Objectionable.

The emperor nodded and said nothing, pondered for a moment and immediately rejected Yiyang.

It is conceivable that Yiyang was so angry in his heart?

The emperor finally realized that something was wrong with Yiyang today, so he said to her that even if he chooses a son-in-law, he still has to pass the six ceremonies to choose an auspicious day, how can he marry off in a short while?

The implication is to reassure her that she can still perform filial piety at his knees while she is waiting to get married.

Even if it's not for a short while, she will definitely marry someone else within a year.Although there have always been cases where the princess bullied the son-in-law, if I don't want to do bed affairs, no one will dare to force it.But even if it's just a title, Yiyang wholeheartedly wants to keep it for Lu He, and doesn't want to be tarnished by others in the slightest.Thinking of this, Yiyang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Concubine Ning and the emperor were like glue.This concubine Ning said she looked like Empress Yici, but Yiyang had never met Empress Yici before, so she could only look for traces of her mother and concubine on her slightly rouged face. A smile full of hypocrisy, hypocrisy and hypocrisy, I don't know if there is any conspiracy hidden in it, it is very annoying.

On the other hand, the emperor, who is a very holy man regardless of the court and battlefield, has treated Concubine Ning as a treasure in a short period of time. How is it different from how he treated his mother and concubine?No matter what, it's just a dream that can't be fulfilled after many frustrations.

Emperor Chunyou saw that Yiyang was still standing still and did not respond, so he put his arms around Concubine Ning, who had a slender waist and limbs, and waved Yiyang to retreat for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Yiyang asked immediately: "Father is deeply affectionate, and he can overcome all opinions for Empress Yici alone, and he is sober-minded that he does not choose a talent or accept a concubine. Why does my son have to marry someone else?"

Li Shunde and Zhang Bao, who were serving at the side, turned pale when they heard the words, and lowered their heads anxiously waiting for the emperor to be furious——Yiyang's words really offended the emperor's rebellion, and the words "Empress Yici" All along, only the emperor himself was allowed to think day and night in the bottom of his heart, and if someone else mentioned it, he would dance around on the tip of the knife with his head in his hands-it would be too long to die.Not to mention that her words also reveal another meaning, the emperor's affection is deep, but Empress Yici is stubborn, and doesn't take this emperor who is in the ninth place at all. Give the emperor a face.

As expected, the emperor jumped up, raised his thick eyebrows, and pointed at Yiyang condescendingly: "You bastard! Are you and I comparable?!"
