Langya's dream

Chapter 120 [Blood on Zhaoyang]

(Jinling City, Imperial Palace, Zhengyang Palace)

The maid slowly brought the Bu Yao into the queen's bun, and the sunlight from the window shone on the Bu Yao, which was prosperous yet delicate; the Queen smiled with satisfaction, and raised her hand to stroke the tassels on the Bu Yao.

A maid came in from the outside, stopped behind the queen, bent down and said: "Empress, Princess Yu is here."

"Please come in. Hongyu, go prepare tea." The queen said, getting up and walking to the hall.

I followed Princess Yu through the corridors and gardens and came to Zhengyang Palace, which is the residence of Empress Yan. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Queen coming out of the inner room, and I followed Princess Yu to salute.

"Meet the empress."

"Get up and sit down; it's been a long time since I haven't seen you, but you've become much plumper." The queen sat down on the cushion and said.

Princess Yu smiled lightly, and replied: "Thank you, empress, maybe the food in the mansion is so good, but I made you laugh; His Highness was going to come together to pay his respects to His Majesty, but His Majesty just dragged him to the Yangju Hall , It means to play a game of chess."

"It's fine."

When the Queen heard that it was Emperor Liang who took King Yu away, she couldn't help feeling a little more joyful, but also a little more worried; she reminded Princess Yu: "Recently, Your Majesty has summoned him more times than before. , I have to share more burdens for him in the mansion and take good care of him, understand? Hey, she is..."

The queen said, looking at me, I got up and blessed my body, and said: "My daughter Lin Huaijin, I have seen the empress."

"Your Majesty, she is the concubine His Majesty gave His Highness a few days ago." Princess Yu then added.

There are 1 things in my heart that I want to wash away, but I also know that now is not the time, so I just smirked.

The queen looked me up and down, and said: "You look good, and marriage is also possible, but how about your background?"

"Back to the empress, the daughter of the people comes from a humble background. She was born in the rivers and lakes and grew up in the rivers and lakes. If there is anything that is not well-mannered, I ask the empress to forgive me."

I vaccinated the queen in advance, so as to save me the trouble later; but what I didn't expect, the queen didn't care about my background, and instead said that I came from the world, maybe it can help Yu Wang; it seems The ambition of this mother and son has existed for not a day or two.

Before I could say a few words, a maid walked in and said that it was Concubine Chen and Concubine Jing who came to pay her respects; the queen naturally had no reason to refuse, so she let them in; I got up and saluted, but I didn't dare to look at Jing A concubine glanced at it.

Just after the application time, everyone got up and went to Zhaoyang Hall to participate in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival feast; I followed Yu Wangfei and others, and entered the hall first.

In an instant, the Queen and His Majesty walked out of the inner room together, and everyone present stood up and saluted Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang glanced at the audience, sat down on the dragon chair and said, "Well, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I slowly sat down on the cushion, and quietly looked at Jingyan who was diagonally opposite, but I met his eyes, I quickly turned my eyes away, and looked at His Highness King Qi who was sitting next to him; silently in my heart Tell yourself, calm down, calm down, don't think too much, don't get confused.

Jingyan looked at me for a while, then turned his head, which made me let out a long breath. I didn't know what I was afraid of, anyway, I just didn't dare to face him.

Emperor Liang said a few words about happy festivals, and then started the banquet. After singing and dancing, he drank for three rounds. Many people were not as restrained as they were at the beginning of the banquet, and Emperor Liang smiled slowly.

"Father, I recently found some Confucianists to live in the mansion, and discussed Confucianism with them every day. I feel that to govern this world, I need a wise king like Father! My heart looks up to Father very much. This cup of wine is to be respected to my father and learn from my father!"

Xiao Jingxuan picked up the wine glass on the table, got up and said to Emperor Liang, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Emperor Liang was already a little bit drunk, he was very happy to hear his words, he laughed, and then rewarded Xiao Jingxuan, Yue Guifei saw it in his eyes, and the smile on his face was not concealed at all.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

The voice of the father-in-law sounded outside the main hall, and everyone got up again. The empress dowager walked into the hall slowly, and Emperor Liang stepped aside. Gao Zhan ordered someone to take a dragon chair for Emperor Liang to sit on. Taking the emperor's seat, he sat down slowly.

"See the Empress Dowager."

"Hey, sit down!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The dance started again, I looked at the high position, Emperor Liang chatted with Yanhou about the past, the smile on Yanhou's face made me feel heartbroken, what kind of strong heart does he have, to be able to take away his beloved like this People speak from person to person, ruler and subject... It really is a relationship that can never be understood.

After thinking about it, I shook my head slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it into my belly; it was time to muster up my courage.

"Your Majesty." I got up and said to Emperor Liang, "It is a great honor for a girl to enter the palace to celebrate the festival with everyone today, so I took something from the pavilion and presented it to His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will accept it."

As I said that, I took out a small slender box from my cuff and handed it to a father-in-law.

Emperor Liang turned his eyes to look at me, took the box that Gao Zhan took, and slowly opened it. When he saw the gift, his eyebrows were raised and the corners of his mouth were raised. I concluded that he liked the gift.

Emperor Liang took the thing in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and asked, "This is not an ordinary writing brush, what is it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the name of this writing brush is the Golden Pen. The girl felt that it was too popular, so she temporarily changed it to the Imperial Gold Pen, which means the Imperial Gold Pen; this Imperial Gold Pen is made of pure gold, and the entire shape of the pen is made of It has become the appearance of bamboo, and each section of bamboo means the green bamboo of the four gentlemen; the protruding chrysanthemum pattern on the pen represents longevity and auspiciousness, which is also the meaning of chrysanthemums not afraid of autumn cold in late autumn. This pen is dedicated to Your Majesty , I hope His Majesty holds a golden pen in his hand and guides the country."

After hearing this, Emperor Liang couldn't hide his joy, and said happily: "Hahahaha, good! Great pen! I have never used a pen made of gold! Gao Zhan, thank you."

Gao Zhan looked at me and said to Emperor Liang in a low voice: "Your Majesty, after all, she is a member of the Jianghu. What do you think is suitable?"

After hearing this, Emperor Liang looked up at me, thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "Hey, I remember that I rewarded you to Jing Huan last time, but the wedding date hasn't been set yet, right? Come down?" With that said, Emperor Liang turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager quickly agreed.

"Your Majesty!" "Father!"

Jingyan and I shouted at the same time, I looked at him, and he looked sideways at me, our eyes met, this time, I saw love in his eyes.

Is it my illusion?How could it be... I lowered my eyes and realized that now is not the time to think about these things, so I raised my eyes to look at Emperor Liang, looked at him with firm eyes, and said: "If your majesty wants to reward people's daughters, please reward people's daughters not to marry To King Yu."

"What did you say?" Emperor Liang frowned on his originally smiling face.

I knelt down on my knees, put my hands in front of my knees, kowtowed, and said: "The daughter of the people does not want to marry His Highness Yu Wang, and I hope His Majesty will take back his will."

With a slap, Emperor Liang slapped the imperial gold pen on the table again, and the dance and music stopped, and the whole Zhaoyang Hall was suddenly deserted; Emperor Liang squinted his eyes and asked, "You want me to take back my will?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Bold! Who are you to make me take back my will!" Emperor Liang said angrily.

Seeing this, the queen at the side quickly gave me a step up: "Your Majesty can let you be a concubine for King Yu. It is a blessing you earned in your previous life. Hurry up and confess to Your Majesty."

"Even if the daughter of the people pleads guilty, she will never marry His Royal Highness Yu Wang. This is not because His Highness Yu Wang is bad, but because the people's daughter does not belong to His Highness Yu Wang. If His Majesty is a wise king, I hope that His Majesty will take back the will. Zhaoyang Palace will never marry Yuwang!"

"You mean, if I don't take back my will, I won't be a Mingjun, right? And spill blood on the Zhaoyang Palace! Okay, I will let you know what blood spilling is! Come! Beat her hard at fifty plate!"

"Father! Think twice!" Jingyan just wanted to speak for me, but was blocked by King Qi. King Qi gave Jingyan a look, and said to himself: "Father, Miss Lin was born in the Jianghu, pure and simple. , so I don't know much about the rules in the palace, and my words are a bit quack, but Father also knows that people in Jianghu speak so straightforwardly, she must have no intention of offending Father, Father, please calm down."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Huaijin has always been on good terms with Brother Jing, why did you let her marry someone else?" Yujin also stood up and said, Yan Hou looked at him and gave him several winks, and he said He pouted and didn't continue talking.

Emperor Liang saw that he was going to hit me, and all of them stood up and spoke for me, and they were even more angry, saying angrily: "Okay, queen, come and see, my good son, okay Nephew, you dare to contradict me for her! This is worth it! A quack man can actually get two royal families to intercede for her, you are not small! Somebody, hit me!"

After hearing the order, the three father-in-laws walked to the front of the hall with the board and stool, pulled me up and pressed me on the stool.
