Homecoming Ballad (GL)

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

The weather is hot, and the diet should be vegetarian.

The dishes prepared by Mrs. Liu are also mainly seasonal vegetables, home-cooked side dishes, appetizers, which are quite interesting.

"I wanted to invite your father and king to have a meal together, are you still not in good health?" Qin Yan and Liu Shi sat on one side, facing Rou Ke and Tang Ci, his eyes glanced at Tang Ci very subtly.

Qin Rongyue sat on Rou Ke's lap. Rou Ke had a small appetite and spent most of her time feeding.She picked up a piece of green vegetables with her chopsticks, put her hands into Qin Rongyue's mouth, silk handkerchief gently wiped away the stains around her mouth, and said calmly: "Although my body may not be well, my father wanted to come here. The lord of the Ministry of Rites is entangled, unable to get away, and ordered me to come to thank Mr. Qin and his wife for their kindness."

The king of Yu didn't care about political affairs. He had entertained himself with poems and books for many years, and everyone in the court knew about it.Qin Yan had his own guesses in his heart, and he still asked why the Lord of the Ministry of Rites came.

"It's to urge me to get married."

Tang Ci, who was drinking the soup silently at the side, paused slightly when he heard the words, and secretly looked at Rou Ke's expression under the cover of the rim of the bowl, seeing that there was no sadness or joy on her face, and some inexplicable thoughts filled her heart.

The friendship between the king of Yu and the first emperor, the concubine Yu and the empress Yici are also very affectionate.When Rou Ke was young, she was married to the child in Empress Yici's womb. Unexpectedly, Empress Yici's first child was a princess, so everyone laughed and laughed.Until the second child gave birth to the crown prince, the first emperor didn't say anything about Yici, and everyone already regarded Rou Ke as the future crown prince.

In the nine years of Kangle, the eight characters are equal, the imperial edict has been issued, only six rites are left, and unexpected changes occur.

Rou Ke's marriage fell through, and since then, almost no one dared to inquire about it because of the impediment.

Qin Yan didn't get to the bottom of it any more, but Rou Ke suddenly raised her eyes and said with a smile: "It's been more than ten years, the ink stains and vermilion mud that His Majesty the late Emperor bestowed on marriage has not faded away, and the rules of auspicious etiquette have not faded away. The officials of the Ministry of Rites have forgotten all about it. They don’t know that since I’m already married, how can I remarry?”

Her eyes are like deep pools in ancient wells, with waves hidden in the calmness.

The Liu family is a family of women, so they can avoid political affairs if they can, not to mention the scandal of the Tian family involving the emperors of the two dynasties fighting in the same room.

Qin Rongyue is a child who doesn't know much about the world, her cheeks are bulging with vegetables leaves and rice, she lowers her head and plays with the tape on Rou Ke's clothes.

As a veteran of the three dynasties, Qin Yan stroked his beard and smiled lightly, keeping his secrets secret.

"The princess understands righteousness and abides by principles and ethics. The late emperor must have smiled at this when he wanted to go to the Western Paradise. Even if he chose a relative who fled the battle and sold friends for glory, it would probably be able to dilute some regrets that were too late." Tangci put down the bowl and said calmly.

12 years ago, Dingyou coup, Qi Wang rebelled, all the way into the imperial capital.The king of Yu held a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, surrendered without a fight, opened the gate of the palace, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister, while preserving his throne and blood, he will also be the king of Yu since his ancestors. Prestige is in vain.Since then, he has been shamelessly criticized by Qingliu, a literati who likes to criticize current affairs.

Rou Ke glanced at Tang Ci indifferently, but declined to comment.

Chapter 11 (Green Words)

After Qingming, when Lu He returned home after eating, he would always run to the post station, giving up and returning again and again.

To this day, she tightly holds an ordinary letter in her hand, her face is full of spring breeze, and the fear of being found out because of her identity as a woman has been forgotten for the past few days.

Qiang Xing held back his uncontrollable joy, hurried home, lit the oil lamp, and spread out the letter paper under the slightly dim light.

One word at a time, I can't wait to see every word in my eyes, remember it in my heart, and engrave it into a unique history.

The ability to flip through books at a glance and ten lines in the past seems extremely cumbersome at this moment, even though there are only a few strokes on the pale yellow letter paper:

I am fine in Yunzhou, don't worry about it, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and be more careful.Signed, teacher, Ju Mengbai.

Lu He looked and looked, and heard the crackling of the lanterns, so she carefully folded the letter paper and found a wooden box with fine carvings to store it.

Grinding and embellishing the pen, but the brilliant mind can't make up the words that can put the thoughts that haven't been seen for several months into one sentence.Until the oil lamp was about to go out, and the letter paper had written five pages, Lu Hesi and Ju Mengbai's eyes were no longer bright, and it was inconvenient to ask someone to read the letter.Deleting and adding, the pawn then stuffed two pages of letter paper into the envelope flatly, pressed it with an inkstone, and could take it to the post station to post the letter when the meal is returned tomorrow.

After everything was over, Lu Hefang remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, so he went into the kitchen to cook gruel, drank two bowls and then dealt with it.

Stepping out of the door, the bright moon hangs high and the breeze blows.

Lu He raised his head, his eyes were soft and tender, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he murmured softly: "At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other, I hope the moonlight will shine on you."

It was the seventeenth day of the lunar month, and the Palace of King Lu hosted a banquet.

Literati and refined scholars who intend to become officials are invited to come, and the beauties of the women's families are also entertained by Princess Lu, who have their own seats in the inner courtyard.

Before the dinner, I played in the garden, ducking ducks to see the flowers.

A pool of green leaves and red flowers is full of fragrance in the garden.Twos and threes of delicate weeping willows, wrinkled and swaying in the water.

In the nine-curved ring corridor, graceful maidservants stand on both sides of the pavilion, either shaking round fans to cool off the guests, or holding fruit plates for the guests to enjoy.

King Lu wanders in the ring corridor. He wears a winged crown, a purple round-neck robe, embroidered dragon patterns on the chest and back, Fushan Shouhai decorations on his knees, and Fu boots on his feet.Originally, his facial features were clear and upright, and he was dressed in brocade clothes, but his complexion was sallow due to illness and weakness, which immediately reduced a lot of vigor, and even the drooping green beard on his face was sickly, looking very sluggish Excited.

Behind him is Qi Tai, the long history of Lu Palace.

Whenever the king of Lu stopped to chat with the handsome scholars who admired flowers and wrote poems, Qi Tai waited by the side, keeping in mind one or two words that could highlight his character and virtue.After the banquet is over, they will be classified and written on paper, and they will explain to King Lu in detail who are available, whether they should be recommended for military or civilian positions.

There is a fly in the ointment, there is a lotus in the lotus pond, which will not tilt in the wind, and is about to fall.

It rained heavily yesterday evening, and it didn't stop until this morning. I think it was caused by the rain falling.

The servant who took care of the lotus pond came to plead guilty to King Lu a moment ago. King Lu mercifully reprimanded him a few words, pitied him for his old age and ordered two servants to help him kneel and retreat.

All the guests praised Lu Wang Pushi Rende with emotion, which is quite like his imperial grandfather Dezong.

Naturally, with the exception of the two, Lu He and Tang Ci both smiled, but did not say a word.

The drawing paper on the case table is mostly blank, but the black ink is splashed in the middle, and the cinnabar is touched, and the tip of the pen is lightly pressed, and several wintersweet flowers are blurred.

Lu He collected his pen and caught a glimpse of the purple figure out of the corner of his eye. He still calmly took out the seal from his bosom, covered it with red mud, and stamped it.

After walking half of the long corridor, all the paintings that King Lu saw were beautiful and elegant lotus flowers, so he passed by Lu He, he suppressed his doubts, and asked at this time: "Why is Master Lu facing the lotus leaves in the sky?" Paint winter plums?"

A top score in the palace examination has always been the first choice for the party to win talents and pave the way for the future.Even though King Lu often lived at home, lived in seclusion, and never met Lu He, he could boldly guess the identity of the young man with red lips and white teeth based on the few words Qi Tai said to him on weekdays.

Lu He bowed his hands and saluted, pointing to the remnant lotus, and said with a slight smile: "The wind knows the strength of the grass. The heavy rain last night, the roof of the shabby room where I live collapsed, flooding the whole house. This remnant lotus can still It is not easy to hold on until now to show His Majesty and all the guests its demeanor. Others think it is fragmented and eclipsed by the huge lotus leaves, but I feel its tenacity and perseverance."

Compared with the remnant lotus with wintersweet, it is second to give up the completeness and keep the incompleteness.The strong wind knows the strong grass, the country is in chaos and the loyal ministers are known, Lu He's heart of recommending himself to be under his command is clearly revealed, how can the King of Lu not know the reason.

Sitting cross-legged at the moment, chatting freely with Xu Fenglang, I suddenly felt that Lu He's words were eloquent, and he was not a romantic talker, and he was even more happy in his heart.

On Lu He's side was Tangci.

She neither paints nor composes poems. She rests her chin on her hand as if admiring the lotus, and glances at the interaction between Lu He and King Lu from time to time.

A moment later, Lu Wangfang got up, still not finished, and said goodbye to Lu He after three steps, which really aroused the jealousy of many people in the family who were still unemployed, but it didn't show up on the surface.
