Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Now I know that I was wrong at the time, and I am in a sad mood

Regardless of the fierce opposition from the court, Liu Xun resolutely issued an decree, announcing the canonization of Liu Xun as the crown prince, and at the same time proclaiming the decree to add Meng Jue as the crown prince and Taifu. Meng Jue jumped from an official with no rank beyond a hundred officials to become a prince and Taifu with the same rank as the Great Sima and the Great General. Many officials were jealous and envious, and laughed secretly. The "carp leaping over the dragon's gate" thing.An emperor, a queen, and now a prince and a prince. On the second day after Meng Jue was canonized as the crown prince, Xu Pingjun ordered Yunge to meet him. When Fuyu saw Yunge, his eyes immediately turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and led her into the hall.

Just as Yun Ge was about to kneel down, Xu Pingjun ran over and grabbed her by the arm. Before he could speak, tears were already rolling in his eyes. Seeing this, Fu Yu hurriedly ordered everyone to leave. Yun Ge hugged Xu Pingjun silently. After a while, Xu Pingjun calmed down, told Yun Ge his worries and fears one by one, and finally asked: "Yun Ge, do you think Big Brother Meng will help me heal my illness?" ?” Yun Ge thought for a while, then asked back: "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Xu Pingjun's face was a bit ugly, "The emperor doesn't fully trust Brother Meng, he is trying his best to find ways to promote people in my family, hoping to become Hu'er's help in the future; at the same time, he is selecting someone from among my cousins ​​to give Brother Meng a marriage. "After speaking, my face flushed red, and I was extremely embarrassed.

Yun Ge didn't respond, and said flatly: "It's a good idea, in-laws have always been the best way to form an alliance." "I know better than anyone else what the men in the Xu family look like. If the emperor expects to produce half of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, it is purely a dream! My hope is all on Brother Meng. I don't know why, but I believe it. Him. With him here, Hu'er's life will definitely be saved, but whether he can survive is another matter." Yun Ge heard what Xu Pingjun said before, and frowned in thought, as if she had just realized something, and after a while, she returned to normal, quietly listening to Xu Pingjun's next words.

"I invite you here this time. First, I want to tell you that the emperor wants to give a marriage to Brother Meng. If you object, I will never agree to the emperor's doing so. Second, I want to make an idea with you. What should I do with Huo Chengjun?" ? Such a big matter as the establishment of the prince, but she didn't move at all, I was so scared to death." Yun Ge said: "Brother's temperament is not that you will not do it if you object to him, not to mention that he has become the emperor now, and he is gradually getting used to being superior, and I am afraid that he doesn't like others interfering in his decisions, so sister don't have to make him unhappy because of me. .Leave Huo Chengjun's matter to me, and I will help you deal with her."

Xu Pingjun was stunned.Because she was too worried and fearful, she just wanted to find someone to talk to without any scruples, and she didn't expect any real solution.Unexpectedly, Yun Ge agreed without hesitation, as if he had already thought about how to deal with Huo Chengjun. Yun Ge looked at Xu Pingjun's sluggish expression, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The emperor issued an order to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow night, those etiquettes are complicated! Sister, hurry up and get ready! I'm going back." Xu Pingjun sighed and sent Yunge out.

Liu Xi was looking around at the entrance of the hall, and when he saw his mother, he rushed forward, "Mother, Fuyu won't let me in." Xu Pingjun pointed to Yun Ge and said to Liu Xun, "This is the aunt Mother often told you about. Hurry up and salute Auntie." Liu Xi grabbed his mother's hand, refused to go forward, and just stared at Yun Ge. Xu Pingjun was embarrassed, and hurriedly said to Yun Ge, "He's a little shy of strangers." After saying that, he felt that it would be better not to explain this sentence, so he pushed Liu Shi awkwardly, "Call Auntie! Don't you always ask Auntie what she looks like?" "No, Liu Xi simply shrank behind Xu Pingjun, only showing half of his head, looking at Yun Ge.

Xu Pingjun was about to drag him out, but he saw Yun Ge blinked at her, squatted down with a smile, and showed Liu Shi a coin in his right hand, then closed his palms together, and then opened them quickly, there was no coin in his palm .Liu Xi's eyes widened, and with a cry of "Huh", he leaned in front of Yun Ge.Yun Ge spread out his left palm, and the coins lay in the palm of his left hand.Liu Xun touched it with his fingers to confirm that it was indeed a coin, Yun Ge closed and opened his palms again, and the coin was gone again.Liu Shi giggled, pointed to her right hand and said, "I know, it's here!" Yun Ge smiled and opened her right hand, which was empty.Liu Xi stared at her blankly, and then carefully looked at Yun Ge's two hands, there were no coins.Yun Ge smiled, and snapped her fingers next to his ear with her right hand, and coins appeared between her fingers.Liu Xi straightened his eyes, looked at Yun Ge with admiration, clapped his hands and shouted: "Change again, change again!"

Yun Ge asked with a smile: "Who am I to you? How should you speak?" Liu Shi grabbed Yun Ge's hand, shook it, and called, "Auntie, Auntie! Change Hu'er again!" The little hands were warm and soft, but Yun Ge's heart trembled abruptly, staring blankly at Liu Xi who was laughing and screaming. When Xu Pingjun saw this, he immediately understood, and hurriedly ordered Fuyu to take Liu Xi down.Liu Xi refused to obey, he held Yun Ge tightly with both hands and refused to let go, he was about to cry when he saw it. Yun Ge endured the pain in his heart, performed another trick for Liu Xi, and gave him the coin again, before he walked away from Fu Yu without hesitation.

Xu Pingjun wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't think of any words to relieve Yun Ge's pain. He could only hold her hand tightly and told her, "Take care of yourself." Yun Ge forced a smile, "I'm going back, sister take care." Xu Pingjun nodded, Yun Ge turned around and left. Yun Ge was sitting in the carriage, thinking over and over again that he was going to marry a wife and have children!Is his life going on so calmly and nonchalantly? When returning to Huo Mansion, Qia met face to face with Huo Chengjun who was about to go back to the palace.Yun Ge is the older sister, Cheng Jun is the younger sister, and it was Cheng Jun who wanted to salute Yun Ge and say hello to Yun Ge.But now Huo Chengjun is the king, Yunge is the minister, Yunge should salute Chengjun.Yun Ge walked straight up to Huo Chengjun without even bending over, "I have something to tell you."

Huo Chengjun snorted coldly, and walked past Yun Ge without stopping. Yun Ge said: "Your Majesty must have returned to the residence for Meng Jue's marriage!" Huo Chengjun stopped in his tracks and glanced at Xiaoqing, who immediately ordered everyone to back down.Huo Chengjun smiled and said to Yun Ge: "Indeed! The emperor wants Meng Jue to marry the Xu family, but my father wants him to marry the Huo family. Just now I was discussing with us which woman of the right age in the family is reliable." Yun Ge asked with a smile: "What do you think of me, Your Majesty?"

Huo Chengjun was stunned, and after a moment, he stared at Yun Ge and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it!" Yun Ge said: "Is your mother willing to let Meng Jue just marry a wife and have children, with a bright future and full of children and grandchildren? The mother knows very well what kind of person he is, and if ordinary women come to him, they will soon forget it." Who is your surname, it is better not to beat up the empress with him, and the empress still expects her to help the empress?" Huo Chengjun said with a livid face, "That's not your turn." Yun Ge smiled and shook his head, as if lamenting why Huo Chengjun was so stupid, "If you really hate him and me, you should let me marry him. You can watch two people you hate torture each other without any effort on your part , what could be happier than this?" Huo Chengjun lost all his anger, and stared at Yun Ge blankly. Yun Ge looked at her indifferently and said: "He really thought that after he did those things, he could turn around and continue his bright future as if nothing had happened? I will never let him marry a wife and have children and grandchildren." It's full." It was still midsummer, but Huo Chengjun felt a chill all over his body.After a while, he sneered and said, "Okay! My palace is as you wish!" Seeing that Huo Chengjun was turning his back, Xiaoqing hurried over and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the palace?" Huo Chengjun said with a cold face: "I still have something to tell my father, you wait at the gate of the house." Xiaoqing shuddered and retreated quickly. When Huo Chengjun left the mansion again, he saw Yunge leaning on her carriage, smiling and admiring the scenery on the street, looking very contented, while Xiaoqing stood aside with his hands down, with an angry expression on his face, but he didn't dare to explode. She walked to the carriage and shouted, "Get down!" Yun Ge didn't move, just asked: "What's the matter?" Huo Chengjun got into the car and sat beside her, and said with a low voice: "Father loves you very much. When I first suggested it, he firmly disagreed. Later, I said it was your idea, so he didn't object. Huo Yunge, I just remind you You, don't forget that Huo's blood is flowing in your veins! The resentment between you and me is between you and me. If you do something that is sorry for the whole family, Huo's ancestors will not forgive you !" Yun Ge glanced at her with a smile, and jumped off the carriage. Huo Chengjun ordered with a cold face: "Go back to the palace!" The sound of the horseshoe's "de" gradually faded away, Yun Ge's smile disappeared, and he looked into the distance with a confused expression.The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire long street crimson.In the warm halo, her figure appeared very frivolous. A carriage was coming on the bluestone road. She turned her head and saw Yu An on the carriage. Joy bloomed in her confused eyes, but the moment she saw the carriage clearly, the light of joy was extinguished, and a kind of penetrating sadness filled her heart. Brow raised. For a moment, Yu An couldn't bear to watch, lowered his head and said, "Miss, the carriage is ready, where do you want to go?" Yun Ge was stunned for a while, then seemed to be fully awake, smiled slightly, jumped into the carriage, "Go and congratulate the crown prince and grand master!" In the past two days, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate Meng Jue. The entire street in front of the Meng Mansion was full of carriages. The road was very difficult, and there were often carriages crowded in the middle of the road, unable to move.Thanks to Anyu's superb horse skills and the word "Huo" printed on the carriage, all the carriages would give way to them when they saw them, so they arrived at the Meng Mansion smoothly. Several servants were waiting in front of the door to welcome and block the guests, one of them saw Yun Ge, he quickly turned his head and gave some instructions to the people beside him, and then rushed up, leading the way, while saying: "Yun Ge girl……" Yun Ge smiled and corrected, "My surname is Huo, and Yun is just a given name." The servant immediately changed his words, "Miss Huo, the servant has already ordered someone to notify Sister Nongying." Just as she was talking, Sanyue had already run over, and said with a smile: "They told me, I still don't believe it, it's really a girl!" Yun Ge smiled and said good, and asked: "Is it convenient for Mr. Meng to meet guests?" San Yue said repeatedly: "Convenience! Convenience!" She led Yun Ge towards the flower garden, "At this moment, the main room and study room are full of people, making it extremely noisy. I think the flower garden is still quiet, with many flowers It’s also just in time, girl, just wait there! I’ve already asked my junior brother to report to the young master, he will definitely be here soon.” Yun Ge smiled and nodded, "Thank you." March asks Yun Ge where he wants to sit, Yun Ge says "whatever".In March, she laid Xiangfei bamboo mats under the wisteria flower trellis, set up a few tables made of nanmu, cooked Yunwu camellia, and only retreated after making sure that everything was convenient and comfortable for Yunge. Yun Ge looked around casually, not far away, a few clumps of peonies were in full bloom.Looking at the flowers, Yun Ge's mind suddenly flashed the uninhibited appearance of a "lazy peony". Seeing Meng Jue arrived, Yu An bowed to him and left quietly. Meng Jue stood in the shadow of the flowers, staring intently at the people under the wisteria trellis.She didn't know what she thought of, she had a smile on her lips at one moment, and sighed silently at another, but no matter whether she was smiling or sighing, there were always countless sorrows on the corners of her brows and eyes. After a long while, he walked towards her, with a usual smile on his face as he walked. Yun Ge was looking at the peony flowers in a trance, and Meng Jue walked up to her side without her noticing. The red, white and white peony flowers in sight were suddenly blocked by a piece of blue robe, Yun Ge was stunned for a moment before regaining consciousness. Unlimited romance, all blown away by the rain and the wind!Yun Ge let out a long sigh in his heart, slowly raised his head, and when he met Meng Jue's eyes, he was already smiling like a spring breeze, "Congratulations, Mr. Meng." Meng Jue sat in front of her, smiled and handed her a small wooden box in his hand, "You should have come here specially for this." Inside the box was a brocade handkerchief, on which was a small pottery vase.Yun Ge opened the bottle, poured a pill into his hand, looked at it, and asked, "How to use it?" "There are specific usages on the Jinpa. This thing will melt when it comes into contact with water, so store it carefully." Yun Ge immediately threw a pill into the teacup, picked it up and took a sip, "It smells bad! What I want is a medicine that is tasteless, colorless, and undetectable." "Time is limited, I can only do this. If you are not satisfied, return it to me." Yun Ge put the pottery vase in her purse, "I want it." Meng Jue said, "I've already given you what you asked me to make. Now it's time for you to tell me what your relationship with Huo Guang is." Yun Ge approached him, raised her chin slightly, looked at him with a smile and said, "I told you, you will regret it so much that you won't be able to sleep at night." Meng Jue took a step back, distanced herself from Yun Ge, and said flatly, "All ears." Yun Ge sat back in his seat, "Actually, one sentence can explain the relationship between me and Huo Guang clearly. My father's name was 'Huo Qubing' a long time ago." Meng Jue's smile froze on his face for a while before returning to normal. Yun Ge said slowly: "Don't even think about using this to deal with Huo Guang. One, it's a long time ago, and there is no evidence or physical evidence, so no one will believe your words; two, Huo Guang has nothing to do with Brother Bingji, my father Brother He Bingji is both of the Wei family's blood, you can't guess what the elder brother will think in his heart." She patted the falling flowers on her skirt and stood up, "This cooperation is very pleasant, thank you." After finishing speaking, she turned around to leave, but turned her head suddenly, smiled sideways, "In a few days, you You will receive a big gift from me, don't act unhappy!" A burst of chuckling, and walked briskly out of the flower garden. In order to celebrate the establishment of the crown prince, the front hall of Weiyang Palace was newly decorated, which was no different from when Liu Xun ascended the throne.Liu Xun and Xu Pingjun sat side by side on the Golden Luan Hall, Huo Jieyu, Ambassador Gongsun, and Zhang Liangren who had recently entered the palace also attended according to their respective identities.Hundreds of officials and wives sit according to their ranks.Meng Jue is the future Master of the Son of Heaven, so the seat is naturally at the front, with Huo Guang. Liu Xun was really happy tonight, laughing constantly.Some of the officials below were really happy, and some were fake, but regardless of the truth, they couldn't be stingy with their laughter. They kept laughing and laughing with Liu Xun. Meng Jue always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and the smiles of Liu Xun and Huo Guang had other meanings.After thinking about it carefully, they really couldn't think of what they could do on a day like tonight. Amidst the singing and dancing, everyone congratulated His Highness the Crown Prince one after another, congratulated His Highness the Crown Prince, and then congratulated Meng Jue.It is false to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince, but it is true to congratulate Meng Jue.His Highness the Crown Prince is still a little kid, he doesn't understand anything, flattery is a matter of the future, the key now is to have a good relationship with Meng Jue. During the dinner, Zhang Anshi asked with a smile, "Mr. Meng has made a marriage agreement", which made the ears of several people who were toasting pricked up, and sighed in their hearts, "It's over! It's late! The Zhang family will take the lead!", wishing to beat himself on the spot slap.It's no wonder that others are the first rank, but I can only be a second rank, this is the gap! Meng Jue understood in his heart, cupped his hands, and was about to avoid this question with words, Liu Xun had already laughed and said: "I and Meng Aiqing are old friends, I know this matter very well, his life-long affairs have not yet been settled, Zhang Aiqing If there is a good candidate, please let me know." Zhang He stood up, and said with a smile: "I love being a matchmaker the most. The emperor and the empress are the ones who talked about it together. I think the Xu family's mother-in-law was not happy at the beginning. Look at this harmony and beauty now! Mrs. Xu, you Don't blame me any more?" Xu's mother was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to drill, but Xu's father said with a complacent smile, "Don't dare, dare not!" There was laughter in the hall, and Zhang He said with a smile: "Today, I will also say something to Master Meng. The matchmaker is still a girl from the Xu family, the empress's cousin, she is outstanding in terms of appearance and appearance, and she has a good temper, so she will never wrong Mrs. Meng." Before Meng Jue could speak, Liu Xun said with a smile, "I've seen her before, it's a good marriage." Liu Xun's meaning was already obvious, and everyone also understood that this marriage was to link the interests of the Meng family and the Xu family. Jinkou Yuyan, seeing that everything is a foregone conclusion, Huo Guang suddenly smiled and said: "The old minister also joins in the fun, and the old minister also knows a good girl who is very suitable for Meng Taifu. Although I dare not say that it is one in a thousand, but in Chang'an City If you want to find a better one, it will be a bit difficult!" Although she only praised her own person in her words, she was hurting the girl of Xu's family. Huo Guang has always been cautious and respectful, even he was very polite to ordinary people, but today he actually squeezed Xu's family in public.There was a silence in the hall before laughing again, but the laughter was obviously forced. Zhang He was about to explode on the spot, but Zhang Anshi yanked him hard under the case, and then he shut up, still staring at Huo Guang dissatisfied. Liu Xun said with a smile: "I don't know who Master Huo is talking about? If there is such a good person, I and Zi Tong would also like to meet." Zhang He whispered: "That's right! It's a mule or a horse leading it out for a walk, don't just talk about it!" Huo Guang said with a smile: "I want to tell the girl of Taifu Meng, whom both the emperor and the empress know, is my righteous daughter Huo Yunge." Both Liu Xun and Xu Pingjun were stunned on the golden throne, with strange expressions on their faces.Meng Jue suddenly turned his head and stared at Yun Ge, but saw that she lowered her head deeply, she couldn't see her expression clearly, she looked very embarrassed. Zhang He looked at Yun Ge, smacked his lips, and remained silent. Zhang Anshi glanced at his elder brother, wondering why this man suddenly became calm? Xu Pingjun, who had not spoken since the beginning of the banquet, suddenly asked: "Master Huo, have you asked Yun Ge about it? Is she willing?" Before Huo Guang could speak, Huo Chengjun laughed and said, "Teacher Meng is outstanding, and my concubine's sister is of course happy. I beg the emperor to allow this marriage!" Yun Ge raised his head and nodded to Xu Pingjun's questioning gaze. Liu Xun refused to speak for a long time, but just stared at Yun Ge. Xu Pingjun looked at Yun Ge in puzzlement for a while, then stood up resolutely, knelt down facing Liu Xun, and begged: "Your Majesty, my concubine feels that Yun Ge is more suitable for Meng Taifu in terms of temperament and appearance. Your lord's matchmaker!" Huo Chengjun also knelt down, pleading sincerely. This was the first time that Xu Pingjun and Huo Chengjun agreed, and it might also be the last time. All the officials of His Highness were completely dumbfounded. They didn't understand which play was being sung tonight, so they could only quietly watch the two empresses in the high hall propose marriage to the Huo family. Liu Xunqiang said with a smile: "After this matter..." Meng Jue knelt down suddenly, kowtowed, and said: "I am alone, Miss Huo is a good match, I beg the emperor to marry you!" Huo Guang said with a smile: "My daughter, on behalf of the minister, begs the emperor to marry you!" Now the scene has become an arrow shot out.Liu Xun glanced at Xu Pingjun and Huo Chengjun who were still kneeling on the ground, so he could only support one of them, and rolled them up. He said with a smile, "Double happiness is coming, congratulations! Congratulations! Huo Yunge's landscape is clear and beautiful, flowers and trees are beautiful, Xu Xianglan Gentle and obedient in nature, gentle in temperament, specially bestowed on marriage to Prince Taifu Meng Jue, conferred the title of Mrs. Huo's Zhengyipin and Mrs. Xu's Congyipin." An official on the side had already recorded Liu Xun's words one by one, polishing them into an imperial decree. Huo Guang thanked Liu Xun with a smile, putting all his displeasure in his heart.Meng Jue knelt on the ground stiffly and did not respond immediately. Huo Chengjun glanced across Yun Ge's face, landed on Meng Jue, and said with a smile: "The emperor really loves Taifu Meng! There are two first-grade wives in one family. Congratulations to Taifu Meng!" Meng Jue was vigilant and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Immediately, the hall was filled with the sound of congratulations from everyone. Liu Xun only raised his hand to let him get up, picked up the wine glass on the table to drink, but it was already empty, Qixi hurriedly brought the wine pot over to fill the wine, Liu Xun asked impatiently before the wine was filled. : "What about singing and dancing?" The eunuch serving on the side immediately ordered to play music.Because Prince He was registered, the singing and dancing were festive and joyful, and everyone in the hall seemed to be beaming with joy. Liu Xun smiled and enjoyed the singing and dancing, slowly picked up his wine glass, and drank one sip at a time. Yun Ge waited for the two songs and dances to finish, and when everyone's attention was gone, she quietly retreated from the banquet by changing her clothes.They are all familiar paths, and in a short time they have already traveled outside the hall of Xuanshi.A eunuch came to inquire, seeing her, he was stunned, "Why is the girl here?" But his face was unfamiliar to Yun Ge, "Are you on duty at the Xuanshi Palace?" "Yes! After the emperor ascended the throne, he transferred the slaves here from Lishan." The elder brother should have believed him, "Please help me send a message to the emperor, saying that I want to meet him in private." "Young lady, please be polite. This servant immediately sent someone to send a message to Head Qixi." Yun Ge nodded, keeping his eyes on the hall. The eunuch asked her to enter the hall to wait, she shook her head silently, but after a while, she moved forward again, but stopped suddenly after not taking a few steps.She seemed to want to retreat, but also seemed to want to advance, after some hesitation, she walked into the palace gate hesitantly. The eunuch led the way in front, wanted to lead her to the main hall, and asked with a smile, "What tea would you like to drink?" There was no response from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Ge stopped at some point and stood in the courtyard blankly. The eunuch ran back with small steps. Yun Ge seemed to be staring at every plant and tree in the courtyard, but there was nothing in his eyes.He vaguely understood the reason, and said softly: "If you want to employ someone, you can just call a servant." After speaking, he quietly backed away regardless of whether Yun Ge heard it or not. When Liu Xun came in, Yun Ge was standing with his head bowed under the bamboo stand, holding the bamboo stand with one hand, and stroking the vine with the other.Looking through the scattered green leaves, her person is like a cage in the flowing green veil.The eunuch behind him wanted to order Yun Ge to kneel down to greet him, but Liu Xun waved his hand and told him to go down. He walked lightly to the pergola and said in a low voice, "You are late, the flowering period has just passed." Yun Ge looked up, and saw a pair of black eyes in the green leaves, like stars, suddenly illuminating her cold and dark lost way, she laughed, "You said 'tsquats and female dills, apply to pines and cypresses', it is difficult to plant In the courtyard, but I’ve planted a living." The voice was so soft that she seemed afraid of breaking the dream, but happiness filled the whole world and her eyebrows and eyes. Yun Ge approached, stretched out his hand to touch him, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately withdrew his hand, "I know that as soon as I touch it, you will leave again like before. This time I will not move or speak, You stay with me for a while, just for a while." Her eyes are quiet and lingering, no matter how prosperous the world of mortals is, or how time flies, the world is in her eyes, only him! Liu Xun only felt that he was about to get drunk. In his drunken dream, time seemed to perfectly combine the past and the present.He gazed at her tenderly, parted the vine leaves covering his face, and said softly, "Yun Ge, I will not disappear." Yun Ge stared at him blankly, with a layer of mist in his eyes, covering her people away quickly, Liu Xun stretched out his hand to grab it, but Yun Ge took a step back, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, my daughter is rude." Liu Xun handed the hand in the air, then suddenly changed direction, and landed on a vine leaf, as if he wanted to caress that leaf, "Yun Ge, do you still want to play the game of king and minister with me?" Yun Ge smiled and straightened up, "Then what do you want me to call you? Or 'Big Brother'?" Liu Xun walked around the pergola and stood in front of Yun Ge, "Yes." An eunuch held a roll of Xiangfei bamboo mat and spread it under the flower stand.Qixi came over with a small table with two cups of freshly brewed tea on it, Liu Xun smiled lightly and said, "Bring me a pot of wine." Qixi hurriedly went to get the jug of wine, Liu Xun didn't even use the wine glass, and poured it into his mouth directly with the jug. Yun Ge wanted to wait for him to ask "Why are you looking for me", but Liu Xun didn't speak at all, just leaned against the pergola, drinking wine with a smile. Yun Ge lowered his head, turned the teacup in his hand round and round, wanted to speak a few times, but couldn't speak, his heart was confused and uneasy, thinking about it, can it really be done?Brother, can he agree? "Remember? One time we sat in the courtyard in silence too." A dark voice suddenly sounded in the dark night, Yun Ge was stunned for a moment, then smiled genuinely, "Yeah! That time we went to see Empress Wei, I didn't know she was... Actually, I should kowtow to her , I know that my elder brother is rebuilding the mausoleum for Empress Wei, and I will kowtow to her after the burial is relocated." Liu Xun leaned over, stared at Yun Ge and asked, "Are you really willing to marry Meng Jue? Or are you willing..." "It was really my own idea." "what about me?" "What?" Yun Ge couldn't understand at all. "What am I?" "Brother, are you drunk?" Yun Ge leaned back, trying to avoid Liu Xun. Liu Xun grabbed Yun Ge's arm violently, "When I was in prison, who spent countless sums of money to bribe the jailer, just so that I could have a blanket at night and an extra bowl of rice during the day? Who begged Another huge sum of money to redeem the jade pendant in the pawnshop? In order to intercede with Huo Guang, who used cooking skills to make a big fuss in Chang'an, even offending the powerful Shangguan family at that time?" Yun Ge shook his head and said anxiously: "Brother, you misunderstood!" "I misunderstood?" Liu Xun laughed, "Yun Ge, I won't misunderstand the way you look at me! Although you always hide in the dark, every time I look at you, you dodge, but I knew it all in my heart. But at that time... At that time, I had no choice, my own life was in danger, how could I have you? I can only pretend that I don’t know anything, Yun Ge, where are those things? Those things are stored in your eyes What about my stuff? Why not? I think you look at me the way you did just now, and now I can give you..." "Brother! Don't talk about it! Those things are my fault! You already have the best wife in the world, and now there are Zhang Liangren and Gongsun Changshi in the harem. Don't think about the previous things, those things are true. It was a misunderstanding." She actually wiped out everything in the past, as if those things were all imagined by him.Liu Xun was hurt and angry, "Misunderstanding? I don't believe what I saw with my own eyes, what I heard with my own ears was a misunderstanding. In your heart, I am one step ahead of Meng Jue. If I hadn't been helpless to back down, how could he have a chance? Yun Ge , don’t marry him! How am I weaker than him now?” He wanted to pull her into his arms, but Yun Ge twisted his body to dodge. Liu Xun's martial arts were excellent, although he only had six or seven points left due to drunkenness, but Yun Ge, who had advanced in martial arts, could barely draw with him.The two pushed and dodged, the whole trellis trembled, the flagon and teacups fell to the ground, clanging, but they seemed to be the only ones in the Xuanshi Palace. During the fight, Liu Xun gradually gained the upper hand, Yun Ge's hands were bound by him, unable to move.He caressed her cheek and murmured, "Yun Ge, I have obtained all the unattainable things, only you are left..." When his fingers touched her lips, Yun Ge suddenly opened his mouth Bite hard on his palm. Caught off guard by the attack, he immediately withdrew the hands binding Yun Ge's hands and instinctively waved his palms defensively under the tremendous pain.In an instant, the palm wind had already swept to Yunge's temples, Yunge had no way to dodge, only raised his eyes to look at him.Reflected by the cold light in those eyes, he suddenly shuddered, stopped his palms abruptly, and immediately woke up half of the wine. Taking advantage of his daze, Yun Ge immediately backed away, pulled her clothes tightly, and sat down far away at the end of the flower stand. "I...I..." Liu Xun looked at his palm, unable to speak. "Brother, what you saw and heard in the past is true, but it was only because I misunderstood your identity. Brother Ling and I had a marriage vow when we were young. I came to Chang'an to find him, because You look a bit like him, and you have the same jade pendant, so I mistook you for him. What you see and hear, I did for him, not because of you." Yun Ge hid in the shadow of the flowers, tidying up his clothes. I don't know if it was because his voice was slurred, or because he didn't want to hear it at all. All the sentences became fragmented and obscure, but when they fell to the bottom of his heart, his heart hurt for a while. A sharp pain. "Brother, I'm sorry! I didn't know that my behavior at that time would cause such a big misunderstanding. Please forgive me. Sister Xu has a deep affection for my brother, and my brother has always cared for and loved my sister. You must be happy." Liu Xun seemed to be fully awake. He straightened his robe, waved his sleeves and stood up. He said with a smile, "She is 'deeply affectionate' to me!" The last four words had a strange accent. Yun Ge tidied up her dress and walked out, her face was still flushed, but her expression was already calm and generous, "It's good that elder brother understands, you must cherish her. You are the emperor, you can find countless beautiful, gentle and graceful women, But there will never be another person in the world who treats you like this." Under Liu Xun's smile, there was alienation and indifference, "What do you want from me?" Yun Ge bit her lip, summoned up her courage and asked, "Brother, do you want Huo Chengjun to have a baby for you?" Liu Xun stared at Yun Ge, pondered and didn't answer. "Brother, tell me the truth! Maybe I can help you." Liu Xun lowered his eyes, "If she has a child, Hu'er will be very dangerous. I may have many children in this life, but he must be my favorite child." There was a smile on his lips, "I made him a cradle, made a wooden horse for him, and washed his diapers with my own hands. Even now, I am still willing to lie on the ground, let him ride on my back, and play horse riding with him. Tiger will always be me The other children have another identity from the moment they are born, they are still my subjects, no matter how smart they are, I can’t give them these things.” Yun Ge bent down and searched for a while, then picked up a small pottery bottle that had rolled down on the ground, and handed it to Liu Xun. Liu Xun took it, opened it and took a look, "What is this?" "Every time you have sex with Huo Chengjun, give her a pill, and she won't have your child." There is such a medicine?With ecstasy in Liu Xun's eyes, he hastily poured the pill into his palm, put it to his lips and tasted it, "The smell is too strong. Huo Chengjun is not an ordinary woman. She has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and she has been very careful in these aspects." "I've tried it. This pill melts in water. If you put it in the pheasant soup stewed with angelica and velvet antler, you can't taste the peculiar smell. Brother can think of a way to drink some with her. Angelica and velvet antler warm and nourish the kidneys of men. Yang, to regulate menstruation and nourish blood for women. Even if she orders the imperial physician to investigate, as long as she can’t find the bowl that she drank at that time, she will be fine, and instead will be happy because of the favor of elder brother.” Liu Xun looked at Yun Ge with a strange look, and he didn't say whether he wanted it or not. Yun Ge was uneasy, and said in a soft voice: "Brother is the emperor, she is your concubine, she can easily slip the pills into the soup bowl while talking, no matter how shrewd the imperial physician or court lady is, they won't notice the difference." Liu Xun smiled faintly, put the pottery bottle carefully into his arms, and said while walking towards the outsider, "Yun Ge, you have changed." Yun Ge's nervousness dissipated, and he walked out of the hall with his steps, and said with a light smile: "Didn't the eldest brother change a lot?" Liu Xun pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. In the dark night, I don't hear its sound, only the rustling of the two people's robes. There is only silence in such a magnificent palace; but there are strings of laughter rippling in the wild grass piled up to the knees. In a trance, Liu Xun felt laughter in his ears, and turned his head suddenly, but only saw her cold profile, the laughter on those barren graves, drifting farther and farther away... Yun Ge saw a figure dressed as an officer flashing across the palace walls, she ran after him suddenly.The figure also spotted her and immediately quickened his pace. Liu Xun shouted: "Yun Ge, what are you doing? Come back quickly!" Yun Ge didn't seem to hear it at all, and just chased after the figure like crazy. Liu Xun had no choice but to chase after him. Between the palace walls, the more you walk, the more you go, it is a place that Yun Ge has never been to, a guard found Yun Ge's trace, and shouted: "How can you run wildly in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, whoever comes, stop immediately!" Seeing that figure flashing into the shadow of the palace wall, Yun Ge rushed forward desperately. The guard drew his knife and stopped her, and was about to make a move when Liu Xun shouted from behind: "Everyone stop!" The guard saw who was coming, and hurriedly knelt down. Yun Ge walked quickly between the gates of the pillared halls, but there was no sign of that person at all. Liu asked: "What exactly are you looking for? Tell me, and I will order someone to help you find it together." "A man in black officer's clothes just passed under the eaves." The guards kneeling on the ground looked at me and I looked at you, they all shook their heads, "I only saw the girl running over." Yun Ge refused to give up, searched inside and out, but still didn't find any clues. Liu Xun persuaded: "Go back! I haven't seen you for so long, your adoptive father must have started to worry. Maybe it's because you were blinded for a while and mistook the wild cat for a human figure." Yun Ge couldn't find anyone, so she could only go back first, she walked quietly for a while, and said: "That person killed Matcha, I will definitely not be wrong! I will definitely find him." Liu Xun said: "The guards here are all Huo Guang's people, so what if you find them? Since you have already forgiven Huo Guang and recognized him as foster father, just forget about some things!" Yun Ge only said stubbornly: "I want to find him, this is what I owe Matcha." Liu Xun sighed helplessly, "I will order someone to try my best to help you find it." "Thank you brother." Yun Ge's faint smile revealed something he was familiar with and longed to keep, but he didn't dare to look too much, and hastily looked away. When approaching the front hall, the two parted ways.Although they have deliberately avoided suspicion and returned to the banquet one after the other, but they have been away for such a long time, and those who have been paying attention to the two have already had various guesses in their hearts. When Xu Pingjun first saw Yunge, his face changed suddenly, but after a moment, he smiled and shook his head, calmly serving Hu'er.Huo Chengjun looked at Liu Xun with a pale face for a while, and looked at Meng Jue with a smile for a while.Meng Jue stared at Yun Ge blankly for a while, then turned her head, her back standing proudly and alone, as if her whole body had merged with the night. Yun Ge didn't pay attention to everything at the banquet, the figure of matcha was still lingering in his heart, he picked up the wine and downed a big glass.The maid next to him poured wine for Yun Ge and said in a low voice, "Miss, you should cut your hair before the table!" Yun Ge's face was flushed red, she hurriedly stood up, hurriedly avoiding the attendance, a palace lady came over with a makeup box and mirror case long ago, and waited for her to redress her makeup. The bun was a bit loose, but it wasn't messy, but there was a strand of green radish leaves hooked on the hairpin, mixed in the black hair, which was a bit eye-catching.A pair of emerald earrings, only one is left, and the other ear looks empty.The palace maid combed her hair, and she couldn't find a pair of earrings for a while, so she simply took off the other one, and after seeing that everything was in order, she said with a smile: "Miss Huo, this servant will leave." Yun Ge buried her face in front of the powder box and didn't want to go out again, it was too embarrassing, what would people think of her and the emperor?ah!Sister Xu!Yun Ge jumped up and ran out in a hurry. Xu Pingjun seemed to have expected Yun Ge to come back, and the first person to look for was himself. As soon as Yun Ge came in, she met Yun Ge's eager gaze and smiled. When I asked Liu, I couldn't help being a little annoyed. Liu Xun held his right hand in his sleeve, and was drinking with Meng Jue with a wine glass in his left hand. On his little finger was an emerald ring, which stood out against the white jade glass. When he looked carefully, he realized that it was the earring he had dropped. As if feeling that someone was looking at him, Liu Xun looked sideways at Yun Ge, ignoring her annoyance, instead, he kept staring at Yun Ge blindly, with a half-smile on his lips. Yun Ge glanced at Huo Chengjun and Meng Jue in the blink of an eye, suddenly the corners of her lips curled up slightly, she gave Liu Xun a look of shame and annoyance, and lowered her head. The hall was full of people, singing and dancing, and laughter, most of the courtiers didn't notice Yun Ge's going in and out, let alone the little ring on the emperor's finger.But those who noticed the strangeness were silent.Although Zhang He has been paying attention to a few people, he still seems to understand, not understand, and asks his younger brother in disbelief, "Your Majesty... is there something wrong between him and Yun Ge?" Zhang Anshi sighed, and said in a low voice, "This Yun Ge is really a witch worthy of the name." Zhang Heyi was filled with indignation, his face was livid with anger, "How could the emperor... how could he do this? He just gave the marriage in public, and then... he humiliated his unmarried wife..." Zhang An Shisurong said: "Brother, the person sitting on it is the emperor, you are just a minister, you must not say anything disrespectful. Otherwise, even if you have saved him a thousand times before, our Zhang family will be implicated by you , you must not meddle in this matter any more." Zhang He's face was sad, "Am I someone who meddles in this kind of business? Meng Jue is the son of an old friend. He and the emperor should be good brothers who help each other. I promised to be a matchmaker for the Xu family. That’s how we became family.” Zhang Anshi asked suspiciously, "Whose child is he?" Zhang He dejectedly: "I think it's... Sigh! Ever since I met him at the emperor's wedding banquet, I tried him several times, but he refused to admit it, only saying that his surname is Meng." Zhang Anshi knew his brother's chivalrous heart, but these things didn't work in the court, so his brother became a depressed official all his life. "Brother, some things are not as simple as you think. Even if you are married, you may not be really close. I have no objection to you doing your best for the old man. In other things, you can help Meng Jue however you want, but the court You don't need to worry about the matter. Our Zhang family still has a family of young and old, you have to think about them. To show that the emperor will not forget the old kindness, he will definitely give you an official promotion in the future. You must work hard refuse." Zhang He originally thought that after Liu Xun came to the throne, he would do his best to assist the emperor and be a loyal minister who would be famous in history, but he found that this court was still a court he could not understand, and the person sitting on it was not what he had imagined Liu is sick. "Understood, I'm going to take a part-time job in the Weiyang Palace, and I'll still be like before, sharing cups with my 'dog meat friends', and going to the people to fight against injustice." The big stone in Zhang Anshi's heart finally fell, "Thank you, brother!" Zhang He laughed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "My useless brother should thank you. Since my father died in prison, without you, the Zhang family would have collapsed! Look at you, younger than me, They have more gray hair than me." Zhang He said with a hoarse voice, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it down. Zhang Anshi patted his brother on the back, smiled and held up the wine glass to have a drink with his brother, and drank it in one gulp.No matter how difficult it is, it is enough for my brother to understand! After the banquet was over, Yun Ge got into the carriage, and within a short distance, he heard a deep voice, "You all get down." The servants of Huo's mansion saw that he was the new young master, so they all laughed, and while laughing, they said: "Miss, the servants will leave first." Hearing that Yun Ge didn't speak, they reckoned that they would definitely have no objection, so they all laughed and avoided. Meng Jue grabbed the curtain, and the smell of alcohol came in with the wind, Yun Ge covered her nose and stepped back. Meng Jue stared at her steadfastly, "You don't have to spoil yourself just to stimulate me, you think too highly of yourself and of me! You are nothing in my heart, and I have never been an infatuated son!" Yun Ge sneered, "How do you know it's 'spoiling'?" After a while, he said slowly: "His eyes are exactly the same as Brother Ling's, especially when the two of them are close together in the dark, they can't see other places. , only eyes." She looked at Meng Jue and smiled slightly, "No, it's not a waste! I'm very happy!" Meng Jue's face turned pale.He has never believed that everything will be true. Liu Xun may have intentions, but Yun Ge is absolutely ruthless.But now he believed it, because Yun Ge was chasing Liu Fuling, not Liu Xun. "Are you crazy? He's your..." "Don't use the Han people as an example! In the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, it is normal for sons to stepfathers and wives, and brothers to stepbrothers. What's more, even if he is a Han, Emperor Hui also married his own niece? Liu Xun and I can count what?" With a pale face, Meng Jue stepped back step by step, whether it was because of drunkenness or other reasons, his body wobbled as if he was about to fall, "Yun Ge, how far are you going to go on this road? " Yun Ge didn't say a word, just stared at him, the ice in his eyes was as cold as the eternal ice. Meng Jue turned around abruptly, pouring wine into his mouth with a smile, and staggered away. Under the moonlit night, his figure was crooked, tilted eastward and westward. Yun Ge was overwhelmed, and leaned limply against the wall of the car. It turns out that it takes so much strength and courage to hate someone!
