Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 144

For a long time, Shao Shang scratched his cheeks, and then slowly walked towards the Changqiu Palace. When she saw the palace maids and eunuchs who came to greet her, she habitually put on a warm and lovely smile-a familiar palace, a different one. The furnishings, Shao Shang still didn't get used to it after so many years, but seeing the emperor's family of three sitting in the middle of the inner hall in an inverted shape, the palace maids and eunuchs were not seen to the left and right, and even Cen Anzhi was not there. .

The old man was sitting in the middle, with a big golden sword, his hands on his knees, and his left earlobe was a little red. The new crown prince sat behind the emperor on the left, with a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and he didn't know if it was a memorial or a classic.

After Shao Shang finished the ceremony, he carefully looked up at the three couples who had a strong sense of oppression, and finally his eyes fell on Empress Yue - Empress Dowager Xuan had aged like fallen leaves in autumn, but Empress Yue was as plump as blue waves and spring water, and her complexion became more and more complex. deep.

She is a little uncomfortable.

The emperor smiled and beckoned to her: "Sit closer, I have something to ask you."

Shao Shang felt that the old man was smiling like a wolf grandpa, and he became more and more vigilant, and only dared to move forward half a foot.

The emperor asked: "How is the health of the Queen Mother of Huai'an these days?"

Shao Shang glanced at the Empress Yue and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, she is better than before Zhengdan, but she is still weak and unable to eat... These concubines have already treated the Empress yesterday. Empress said it."

Although the old man was very concerned about his ex-wife, but after all, he had a serious job and couldn't care about it everywhere, so it was inevitable that the young merchants had to report the situation of the Empress Dowager to the Queen of Yue over the past few years.

After saying this, Empress Yue snorted twice, the prince snorted coldly, and the emperor stroked his beard: "Did the Empress Dowager Xuan say that her body is like the words of Tai Gong Xuan again?"

Shao Shang sighed: "Every time I get sick, I say it, He also said that Xuan Taigong also had these diseases at the beginning - they were all useless concubines and did not take good care of the queen mother." There is no test and no west kick, and even the focus of the disease is unclear. The ancients were very neat from illness to death.

"It's not your fault. It was so dangerous two years ago. If it wasn't for you, she would have barely survived." The emperor waved his hand.

Shao Shang bowed down in a very standard manner: "My concubine thanked Your Majesty for being sympathetic." The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the old man's left earlobe was very strange—she had a bold guess, but she didn't dare to ask.

The emperor had a wise and wise smile.

The Empress Yue snorted again, and the Crown Prince followed with a cold snort. The Emperor ignored them and suddenly said, "I heard that the King of the East Sea has not visited the Empress Dowager in Yong'an Palace since Zhengdan. What's going on?"

Shao . Shang seemed to be at a loss: "It's been so long. Yes, why hasn't the King of the East Sea been here for more than a month." The

emperor hung his eyes: "In your opinion, the King of the East Sea is not in a good mood..."

"No way . Since the King of the East Sea became the King of the East Sea, the concubine seemed to be more comfortable than before. Last year, I went to the mountains to cool off with the second princess and his wife, and the clouds and mists shrouded in poetry and poetry with a group of idlers. When I came back, my heart was wide and my body was fat. I have to change it again." Shao Shang continued to pull with his innocent eyes.

The Empress Yue became impatient: "Your Majesty, I can't paint this Kodan well. You and Shaoshang will talk slowly, and I will leave first." The

new crown prince and his mother had the same expression: "Father, if there is nothing wrong, my son. Retire first, there are still many things to do..."

"Don't make trouble!" The emperor waved to his wife and children behind him as if chasing flies, "No one is allowed to leave, just listen to me honestly!"

Turning back, the emperor tiger Facing his face, he patted his legs at Shaoshang and said, "Little girl still wants to fool me! Say, what did you tell the King of the East Sea more than a month ago, and he was frightened and rolled off the stairs of Yongan Palace and broke. Forehead!" The

prince was interested, and looked at the girl with a bowl of buttermilk: "The injury on the eldest brother's head is because of you?"

"Have you faded?" Queen Yue said in surprise.

"No, no, how dare a concubine!" Shaoshang waved his hands in fright, "By borrowing a hundred courage from a concubine, the concubine can't do anything with His Royal Highness the King of the East Sea!"

"You didn't do anything, you moved your mouth!" The emperor patted his leg again, "You still haven't told the truth!"

Shao Shang had no choice but to tell the truth, "Actually, the concubine didn't say anything, just told His Royal Highness. , said that you don't have a princess anymore, why don't you marry a concubine..." She still remembered the expression on the face of the East Sea King at that time, even if she met demons and monsters, it was nothing more than that - what a shame!

Before the words were finished, the Queen of Yue had already giggled, and the new crown prince almost spat out the buttermilk in his mouth.

Concubine Yue leaned forward and back with a smile, pointed at Shaoshang and said, "Did the Empress Dowager Xuan say that she is not in good health and wants to see you get married before leaving?"

Shaoshang nodded embarrassedly.

The prince wiped the buttercream from the corners of his mouth, and became furious: "How can you say such a little girl! The Queen Mother Xuan asked you to marry, and then you went to propose marriage to your elder brother! Hello, you are really brave and decisive, not at all. Don't hesitate!" The

emperor continued to wave his hand behind him: "Don't talk to both of you, I haven't finished asking... Shao Shang, after you said that, what did Zi Kun say?

" Banana Peel: "His Royal Highness the King of the East Sea didn't have time to speak, he fell off the top of the rank at that time, and then ran away with his forehead covered. He didn't say goodbye to the empress, saying he was going back to get wounds." The

emperor couldn't help laughing: "Then you I think Zikun is willing to marry you."

"It seems that he is not very willing." Shao Shang admitted embarrassedly, "...but why is this? He made up his mind. After getting married, the concubine can continue to take care of the Yongan Palace, and at the same time reassures the Queen Mother of the Queen. The concubine thinks this marriage is very suitable!"

"What is suitable! If the eldest brother marries you, it will not You can't even lift your head up!" The new crown prince almost spit, "I don't agree with this marriage!"

"The concubine will not bully the King of the East Sea! The concubine is a person with a good heart, and everyone in the Yongan Palace said so. !" Shao Shang was indignant.

"You are even more outrageous than the Sun family, there will still be a few bones left in the eldest brother!"

"Each of the bones of King Donghai will be fine!"

Queen Yue smiled and fell on the table.

"You all shut up!" The emperor shouted - he finally understood why his voice was getting louder and louder since he had Cheng Shaoshang's ex-wife.

After taking a deep breath, the emperor said sternly: "Shao Shang, does Yuan Shanjian know about this?"

"Yes." Shao Shang murmured, "He heard that King Donghai fell on his forehead, so he came to ask me, I Tell the truth."

"He's not angry? Shanjian told me everything." The emperor was very interested, "I also said that I would go to your house to propose marriage in a few days."

"The concubine is not angry yet, why is he angry? Ah." Shao Shang rolled his eyes in his heart. "At that time, my concubine planned to spend a few years in Yong'an Palace quietly, and then make plans when the weather calms down. Who would have thought that Yuan Shan would see all the commotion, and Mandu City knew that he was going to break off the marriage. Although he didn't tell me clearly, But he runs to my house four times a day, don't the Cai family know?! The parents and mothers of the hurtful family will go around when they see the surname Cai in the past few years. Alas, I have pity for them to be kind to others all their lives, but because I almost became enemies with the famous Cai clan ——In this case, if I dare to marry him, I will snatch the Cai family's marriage with an open flame!"

She can't marry into Gaomen happily and let her family become a big enemy.

The emperor smiled and said: "I also blamed Shanjian for running to Yong'an Palace all day long, but Shanjian said that he was afraid that you would marry someone else before he could settle his previous affairs."

Shaoshang defended: "Now Yuan Yuan The son and the Cai family have cleared up their previous suspicions, but they were still in the same situation more than a month ago, concubine, concubine naturally have to find another way out..."

"It seems that Yuan Shanjian is not worried." The new prince mocked the needle. .

The Queen of Yue continued to lie on the table and smirk.

"My concubine really thinks this marriage is very good." Shao Shang still struggled to himself, "His Royal Highness the King of the East Sea is too hurtful!" The

emperor smiled: "Young Shang, I'm here to tell you. The first thing Zi Kun likes is Qu Lingjun, who understands righteousness and complacency, and the latter is the Sun family, who do you think you are like with them?"

"It's fine with Madam Qu, the concubine is better than Mrs Sun..." Shao Shang muttered.

"You are wrong!" the emperor said, "In ten years, how could Sun's deeds not be exposed at all, Zikun can tolerate her for ten years, and there is no love in it?"

Shao Shang heard this for the first time. With such remarks, she opened her mouth wide: "No way, Mrs. Sun's character..." She couldn't go on.

The emperor said: "That's right. In the eyes of the world, the Sun family is of inferior character and ignorance. It is hard to guarantee that Zikun has no pity for her."

Shaoshang was surprised and speechless for a long time, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.

"Okay, let's get down to business... Ah Heng, stop laughing, I'm going to get down to business!" The emperor glared at the back in dissatisfaction, "Young Shang, there is something I need to let you know, Zi Sheng has made a great contribution at the frontier... "..."

He was a little bit at a loss for words, but the new crown prince immediately picked up: "In the past few years, Zi Sheng has destroyed bandits in the northwest, opened up trade routes, recruited several tribes from the frontier, quelled the chaos in the border, and moved thousands of miles, which not only saved a lot of money for the court. Food, grass, soldiers and horses, and even in the battle to recapture the land of Shu last month, they dispatched extraordinary troops from Longxi to assist the generals in encircling the tyrant king, which can be said to have made outstanding achievements!"

Shao Shang listened with his head down, without saying a word.

"If you really agree to the Yuan family's marriage, I will immediately spread the matter to the northwest." The emperor said, "Zisheng has made military achievements over the years, and he has already overcome his previous sins. I will definitely reward him greatly. He is not too young, and he is the only one left in the Huo family... At that time, I will strictly order Zisheng to choose a wife, get married, and spread the branches. You can think clearly!"

Shao Shang raised his head and smiled: "It turns out that the land of Shu It's settled, the news hasn't spread yet, concubine first congratulate Your Majesty for the unification of the world."

She kowtowed respectfully, and then said, "Master Huo is an eagle in the sky, as long as you get rid of the old grudges, you will be able to spread your wings and fly high. In the future, he will be an extremely noble official with prosperous descendants. I don't know where the wedding ceremony of Lord Huo will be held. If it is in the capital, I can't say that my concubine will bring my husband and son-in-law to the banquet together." The

emperor looked at the girl . : "Have you really figured it out?"

"Your Majesty, concubine figured it out five years ago." Shao Shang kowtowed again.

"Okay, you can leave now. You have served the Queen Mother of Huai'an very carefully all these years. The day after tomorrow, for your father's birthday banquet, I will give you fine wine and gold silk." The emperor spoke.

Shaoshang thanked him respectfully, and then bowed his head and retired.

Queen Yue finally stopped laughing and looked at the threshold where the girl left: "The Queen Mother Xuan always said that she looked cunning and cool, but in fact she had a pure heart. I didn't know why at the time, but now I understand." The

new crown prince agreed . Said: "What the mother said is that since the eldest brother resigned from the throne,

the courtiers and the family are quite afraid. Rolling his son's eyes: "Then you are sneering at the young merchant just now." The

prince sighed: "She is pure and sincere, and the feasible facts are outrageous. Yuan Shanjian is such a person who is born with seven orifices and exquisite heart, how could it be? It's amazing to see her!"

"You said this five years ago, it's a cliché!" Queen Yue complained, and then sighed, "Oh, what a stubborn and stupid child, a golden avenue with flowers and brocades. If you don't go, you have to find another way out, really..." She was someone from the past, how could she not figure out the reason.

The prince sneered, and cluttered the bamboo slips scroll with a clear and smart face: "The queen mother is right, Cheng's is not enlightened! A talented person like Zisheng, a high-class woman in the northwestern Zhucheng. They were all rushing, crying and shouting to lead the horse and saddle for him! The year before last Zisheng presided over the grand ceremony of the Shang Si Festival in the border town, and the little girls almost pushed Cui Hou and his son into the river. As long as Zisheng nods his head, what kind of beauty do you want? There are no gentle and virtuous famous ladies!"

"Why didn't Zisheng find some beautiful, gentle and virtuous people?" The emperor suddenly said.

The crown prince was immediately discouraged, and sighed helplessly: "...because Zisheng is also not enlightened." The

queen looked at each other with a smile.

Immediately, His Highness, the unyielding prince, became excited again: "But it's alright, today I will report to the Northwest with the army and horses, so that Zisheng will die, and quickly marry a wife and have children! Really, after so many years, haven't tossed enough... "Father, which family do you think Zisheng will choose?"

The emperor said with a smile: "In the past few years, you and Cui Hou have written letters, and the most mentioned person is not the Luo family, or the one who used to read as a companion to the fifth princess. What is it called?"

"It's called Luo Jitong, the former Changshui school. The daughter of Wei Luobin." The prince sighed: "To say that the Luo family is also a famous family, but unfortunately the children in the family have been mediocre in recent years. So far I have not heard of one outstanding, the Huo family is weak, how can Zisheng be relied on in the future What about his wife's family? Fortunately, Luo Jitong is a well-known virtuous and virtuous woman. She was widowed only a year after her first marriage, but she has been serving her uncle and aunt who are seriously ill and bedridden for several years, winning praise from her husband's family. Virtue, all are top-"

"All in all, it is a hundred times more virtuous than Shaoshang." The emperor nodded and looked at his son with a smile, "This matter is all yours before and after, you will not regret it in the future."

The prince thought about it and said firmly: "Ms. Cheng is a stubborn one. Instead of letting Zisheng spend it all year after year, it is better to have two different widths and be happy. Whether Yuan Shanjian or Luo Jitong, they are enough to match Cheng's and his son. Sheng. For some things, just cut the mess with a quick knife, and the more you drag on, the worse things will be!"

"Okay!" The emperor smiled and clapped his hands, "Just as you wish, I will go to the frontier and ask Cui You to quickly make a decision for Zisheng. Marriage! The punishment I gave Zi Sheng was seven years, and when he returns, I want to see the Huo family's bride and children! " The crown

prince happily said, "Father is wise!"

Queen Yue looked at her son with pity—she I remember the last emperor who smiled at him like this was buried in the grave within a year. When she looked back, she had to remind the emperor that it was her son, so don't be too cruel.

The crown prince was about to retire when he suddenly turned his head and said, "Father, my son, I just realized that your left ear is red..." The

emperor touched his earlobe and coughed lightly, "It was a little itchy just now, I rubbed it. A few times." The

prince did not suspect him, and said caringly, "It's better for the royal father to send the doctor to take a look."

After the prince left, the emperor suppressed his smile, touched his ears and stared at the Queen of Yue: "It's all you, I don't know how to behave. , almost let people see it!"

The Queen of Yue walked up to the emperor and knelt down half-kneelingly, and said with an affectionate expression: "Your Majesty now likes to talk about etiquette. Back then, His Majesty was twenty-three, and I was only thirteen. Why don't I also find some beautiful, gentle and virtuous women from the famous family?" The

emperor looked at Empress Yue's brows, his heart moved for a while, he pulled her into his arms, gritted his teeth and scolded: "I just like to bite my ears. Oh, this stupid kid Zi Duan, I'm afraid I won't meet a woman who will bite his ears in this life!"

Empress Yue giggled and pushed the emperor hard, and the emperor's mountain-like body fell backwards.

Then Empress Yue lifted her skirt and straddled her legs, holding the emperor's chest with both hands, and said arrogantly: "Someone is the queen of Jinjiao Mountain, I am patrolling the mountain today, and I don't want to meet you, a madman. Although you have a lot of wrinkles on your beard, but There are still a few points of beauty left, wait for this king to try your skills, if you can do it, then go up the mountain and be your son-in-law with this king!" The

emperor squinted, "How do you want to try it?"

Empress Yue smiled coquettishly. Ouu bit on the emperor's Adam's apple.

The author has something to say: yes.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty often treated the children and grandchildren of their confidants as their own children, or showed their kindness, or expressed their closeness to the official. For example, the wild boar loved Jin Riju's two sons very much. Among them, the eldest son relied on the emperor's loving behavior. For misconduct, Jin Ilju killed himself, so as not to bring disaster to the family. Later, the Jin family lasted for seven generations until Wang Mang made a big move.
