Yunjuanyu

It rained heavily for many days, with lightning and thunder. The emperor was always diligent, but because of the heavy rain, he stopped his morning court for a few days.

Originally, when I got up early today, the weather was fine, but I never thought that it would change in a blink of an eye.

Li Yu followed Bu Tuo, while alerting the palace people who carried the sedan chairs to the slippery rainy day, paying attention to their feet, while holding a round fan to shield the emperor from the drizzle that drifted in.

Passing by Yikun Palace, the emperor raised his hand.

Li Yu asked the palace people to get off the sedan chair, "May the emperor go to see the imperial concubine?"

"It has been raining heavily for a few days, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Since I came out today, I will go and see her."

Li Yu sent the little eunuch in to report, and bent over to hold an umbrella behind the emperor.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he could smell the fragrance of aloe water. Among the six palaces, what Li Yu liked most was to come to the imperial concubine's place. Whenever he was irritable, he would smell peace when he came here.

Drying, boiling water, pouring tea, etc. After these things are done, the emperor and Ulanara have already talked about Empress Xiaoxian from the current wartime.

"The emperor misses Empress Xiaoxian, so he should pay more attention to his body and don't worry too much." Ulanara took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to the emperor's mouth.

The emperor sighed lightly, shook his head, and suddenly asked after a while, "What is the name of the guard who saved Empress Xiaoxian last time?"

Li Yu stood outside the curtain and froze.

Ulanara said, "It's called Ling Yunche."

"Have I rewarded him?"

"Seal him as a first-class guard."

"Hmm..." the emperor added at the end, "Ling Yunche has done a great job in rescuing him, promotion alone is not enough, he needs to be rewarded."

Ulanara thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter between Ling Yunche and Wei Yanwan was always a disaster. After all, the friendship between the two was obvious to many people, and they were afraid that some people would make a fuss about it.

Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking about it, he heard the report from the palace, "Report to the emperor and the empress, and ask the empress to see you outside the door."

"What is she here for?" The emperor didn't like being disturbed when he was with Ruyi.

Ulanara stroked the back of the emperor's hand, "Forget it, everyone is here. It's raining so heavily, the emperor can't just let people go back, let her come in and say hello."

When Wei Jiashi came in, he seemed to be in a good mood, and nodded to Li Yudu.

Li Yu lowered his eyes and continued with his work.

Wei Jia's voice was brisk, and he chirped with compliments, and finally asked, "I don't know what the emperor and sister were talking about earlier?"

Ulanara replied: "I'm talking about how to reward Ling Yunche, the guard who has made great contributions to saving him. What's your opinion, my concubine?"

Originally thinking that Wei Jiashi would restrain herself after hearing this name, she actually giggled a few times and suggested, "My sister has an idea... I'm afraid that the emperor and my sister will laugh."

"That's what you said." The emperor said.

Wei Jia glanced at the curtain seemingly unintentionally, "...if the emperor grants him a marriage, let him marry the marriage chosen by the emperor himself, it would be considered a great reward."

Suddenly there was a bang behind the curtain, Ulanara was startled, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Yu picked up the pot from the ground, walked a few steps closer and knelt down and said, "Return to the words of the emperor and the two empresses. The servant accidentally got burned by the pot and couldn't hold it firmly, so he fell. Please also ask the emperor and the two ladies My lady, forgive me."

The emperor wondered: "Li Yu, you seem to have made a lot of mistakes recently?"

"It's the slave's dereliction of duty." Li Yu just admitted his mistake subconsciously, he seemed to be unable to hear what the emperor was saying, all he knew was that Ling Yunche was about to be married.

"I see that Li Yu's complexion has not been very good for a few days. I wonder if he is sick." Ulanara said concerned.

The emperor was sympathetic to his servants and nodded, "Li Yu, just take a rest for a few days."

Wei Jia touched his collar, deliberately waved the red ring on the other hand in front of Li Yu's eyes, and smiled, "Otherwise, it's easy and considered as an eunuch for Eunuch Li to be the eunuch of the guards. Showing the royal grace, the emperor and sister, how do you feel?"

Ulanara didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, so she didn't speak for a while.

But the emperor thought about it, "It's okay."

Li Yu opened his mouth, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and spoke every single word very clearly, "...slave, thank you for your kindness."

.............................................

"The guard Ling Yunche received the order."

Li Yu was dressed in a eunuch's fine attire, holding a dust whisk in his hand, "By the emperor's decree: The imperial guard Ling Yunche has made great contributions in saving him. He is too weak and has not yet married a wife. He should choose a virtuous woman to match him. The court lady Maoqian is virtuous and generous, gentle and honest, with outstanding appearance. We hereby appoint Xu Peiqing to be the first wife, and all the etiquette will be inspected and supervised by the eunuch Li Yu, who is in charge of the ceremonies, and we will choose a good day to get married."

Ling Yunche knelt and raised his head to look at him, not letting go of the slightest change in his expression.

"Guard Ling, hurry up and accept the order." With a normal expression, Li Yu rolled up the imperial order and held it in both hands.

"... I have a question about my humble position." Now in the guard courtyard, there is no one else but them, Ling Yunche's face turned ashen, "Dare to ask this imperial decree, can Eunuch Li know about it?"

"Informed."

"Eunuch Li is not different?"

"The grace of the Son of Heaven, dare not refuse."

Ling Yunche sneered twice, kowtowed respectfully, each word sonorously: "I, Ling Yunche, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Yu handed the imperial decree to him. The moment he bowed his waist, he seemed to lose his support. He felt very tired, but he still had to force a smile, "Congratulations to Guard Ling."

"Thanks to Eunuch Li's love, I think you always speak well for me in front of the emperor." Ling Yunche sarcastically said.

Li Yu knew that he had misunderstood, but there was nothing to explain. It didn't matter whether he jumped or not. There was nothing to talk about between them.

Time flies, and the wedding date of Ling Yunche and court lady Maoqian is set for tomorrow.

For more than half a month, Li Yu has been with him almost every day. He is the eunuch who is fully responsible for the ceremony. The wedding date, wedding clothes, and wedding room are all discussed and decided by him and Ling Yunche.

It's obviously to let him relax, but why is he getting more and more tired?

Every day is suffering.

"Li Yu, has something bothered you lately?" Wulanara asked while Li Yu came to her palace to deliver something.

Li Yu urgently needs an outlet, "Yes."

Seeing that he was willing to speak, Wulanara asked the maids to go down, hesitated for a while, and said, "I know you admire Song Xin, but she has been married for many days, why are you still so muddled?"

Li Yu smiled wryly and shook his head, "Thanks to your mother's care, the slave did have feelings for Xin Xin before, but after she got married, this admiration became a bond of affection, and I dare not think about it any more."

"Then why are you still depressed?"

"Ma'am... I, I have someone I shouldn't admire..." Li Yu gritted his teeth and said it anyway.

Ulanara was puzzled, "Who should this be?"

"I really shouldn't."

"Talk to me first." Ulanara couldn't help frowning, "If you really shouldn't admire, you should comfort yourself earlier, so as not to get deeper and deeper and make a big mistake in the end."

Li Yu shook his head uncomfortably, then knelt down suddenly, and said in a mournful voice, "Master, I can't turn back, and I still ask the master to help the slave."

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Slave...the person you said you shouldn't admire...is a bodyguard." Li Yu didn't confess his heart to anyone, and his neck turned red all of a sudden.

Ulanara knew it well, guards, men, no wonder Li Yu was so entangled and couldn't be at peace every day.

"Do you want me to ask the emperor for a favor for you?" In the previous dynasty, among the people, Long Yang's habit of breaking his sleeves abounds, so it's not difficult.

Li Yu smiled, "I beg the master to let the servant go out of the palace and return to his hometown."

He didn't want to continue anymore, as long as he served in front of the imperial court for one day, he would be able to see Ling Yunche for one day, and his concubine was favored again, and he came so diligently, he really couldn't bear it, it was even more tormenting than the day when Xin Xin got married.

What's more, if he gets married tomorrow and stays any longer, he is afraid that if he doesn't wait for the moment of his prison ceremony, he will be miserable to the point of death.

Ulanara sighed, "This palace will come up with ideas for you again, but you have to understand, Li Yu, that you are the emperor's son, and I can't do anything about your going or staying. The decision is still in the hands of the emperor."

Li Yu lowered his head, "Thank you, Master."

"It's just... who do you admire?" Wulanara thought, if there is no marriage, maybe he can ask the meaning of the other side, so as to save Li Yu from suffering every day.

...

"Guard...Ling Yunche."
