[Comprehensive] Empress Variations
Chapter 117
Since Liu Xun was enthroned on the throne, he has been very diligent in political affairs.This is in stark contrast to Liu He, who became wild and lewd within a few days after being supported.He is exceptionally competent as a monarch, and has also been supported by many powerful officials.Because of this, Liu Xun became more and more concerned about political affairs.
Although Liu Xun is not as at a loss now as he was when he first ascended the throne, he has been emperor for four years, and he knows how to deal with some affairs.However, he has no intention of relaxing at all, and he is no worse than when he was the emperor just now.
Because of his previous performance, it was even more rare for Liu Xun to relax.Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, Liu Xun would spare some time to walk around the palace with Huo Chengjun every day.In Weiyang Palace, there are many places where the footprints of the two of them are left.Moreover, those guards and maids who served by their side saw with their own eyes how tender and sweet the relationship between the two was.
Before Huo Chengjun, there was also Xu Pingjun in this palace, and many people couldn't help but compare the two.Liu Xun is also two points closer to Xu Pingjun than the others, but this closeness is mostly the respect between husband and wife.When Liu Xun got along with Huo Chengjun, they were more intimate.It even made the people who were waiting on the side blush from time to time.
Obviously Huo Chengjun was even better.The rumor that Huo Chengjun was favored was considered a 'fact'.
"Jun'er, are you still used to being in the palace?" From the day Huo Chengjun returned home to now, Huo Xian has not seen Huo Chengjun for more than a month.
Huo Xian wanted to enter the palace a few days earlier, but he didn't move because of the worry and uneasiness in his heart.Liu Xun knew that Xu Pingjun was poisoned to death by her. If Liu Xun saw her, he might not have a good face.Maybe even Huo Chengjun would be implicated, so she suppressed her thoughts and endured it.
Now it's no secret that Huo Chengjun is favored by the government and the public, and among their aristocratic families.When Xu Pingjun was alive, perhaps he was really loved by Liu Xun.But it's too late, and now Liu Xun's behavior in her eyes is a manifestation of empathy.
After Huo Xian heard the news, he couldn't sit still.Huo Chengjun was probably the most confused when he just entered the palace. Even if he was loved by Liu Xun, it was the first time she came into contact with those palace affairs.She taught Huo Chengjun a lot on weekdays, but if she didn't touch him personally, she was just talking on paper.If you really have a problem, you will still be at a loss.
If she could give some pointers at this time, Huo Chengjun would naturally become more dependent on her.Huo Xian wanted his daughter to be a queen, not only because she felt that the status of queen was the most honorable and worthy of Huo Chengjun, but also for herself.Huo Chengjun is the queen, so her mother is naturally more honorable.If Huo Chengjun became a queen, he would be alienated from her, and in her opinion, the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Jun'er is all right, please worry about my mother." Xun Ying smiled slightly, her hand was tightly held by Huo Xian.This kind of strength already made people feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show anything on her face.
Seeing that Huo Chengjun didn't reject anything, Huo Xian felt relieved. "If there is anything that needs mother, you can just ask, Jun'er."
Today's Huo Chengjun is a bit more dignified than when he was in Huo's house, and his cuteness seems to be much more dignified.It has to be said that the position of queen does make people grow up very quickly.In just over a month, Huo Chengjun had changed so much that she couldn't help but test it a bit.
"If Jun'er needs help, naturally she won't be polite to her mother." Xun Ying's response was still as cute as in Huo's house.
"My mother is not worried about the relationship between you and the emperor. If there are any affairs in the palace that I can't control, I can ask someone to deliver a letter to my mother. Naturally, my mother will take care of it for you." Now the Huo family's backyard It is controlled by Huo Xian.She can control such a big Huo family so that no one can make mistakes, and she is also very sure about the huge harem affairs.
"Jun'er is indeed a bit unfamiliar with the affairs of the palace." Xun Ying's face showed a bit of fatigue.
Xu Pingjun was originally a commoner. When she took over the affairs of the palace, she was really in a hurry and couldn't adapt for a long time.Huo Chengjun was born in the Huo family, and someone specially taught her.However, if you want to get started immediately, it is still a bit difficult.It is normal to have some problems during contact, but if it is solved perfectly, it will make people feel abnormal.
Huo Xian nodded, showing a bit of pride on his face that everything was under control.Sure enough, everything was as she had guessed. "Then I..."
"Although it's a little unfamiliar, there is nothing wrong with the guidance of the Queen Mother of Shangguan. Jun'er knows that my mother is worried about me, but it is more convenient for the affairs of the harem to be guided by the Queen Mother of Shangguan." Xun Ying interrupted Huo Xian and was about to say if.
When Huo Xian heard what Huo Chengjun said, the arrogance on her face subsided a little.She is Huo Chengjun's mother, and in Huo Xian's view, no matter what she teaches Huo Chengjun, it should be taken for granted.When Huo Chengjun spoke like this, she almost thought it was a warning.Warn her not to meddle in the affairs of the harem.
When I met Huo Chengjun's gaze, I saw that her eyes were as clear as he was familiar with.Huo Xian only thought that he had been in contact with some conspiracies for a long time, but he even started to doubt the daughter he raised with his own hands.She has been raising her for so many years, how could she not know Huo Chengjun's trust and dependence on her.
What others said to her should be a warning, but Huo Chengjun's words should only be superficial. "That's right, Jun'er, you and the Empress Dowager Shangguan both live in the palace, so it's more convenient to come and go. The Empress Dowager Shangguan is also our Huo family, so don't worry about her guiding your mother."
Huo Xian was willing to let Huo Chengjun get close to the Empress Dowager Shangguan. The Empress Dowager Shangguan had ignored political affairs and didn't care about fame and fortune.It is only good for Huo Chengjun to make friends with him.
"En." Xun Ying still had a smile on her face, she got along really well with the Empress Dowager Shangguan these days.However, this is not bad if there is no interest involved between them.The Empress Dowager Shangguan is unwilling to get involved between the Huo family and the royal family.If Xun Ying really talked about these things with her, the Empress Dowager Shangguan would gradually become estranged from her.
People who are too utilitarian can only be friendly with utilitarian people.People who don't care about fame and fortune really won't pose any threat to her?But there was no reason to help her either.
After that, Huo Xian stopped talking about the affairs of the palace, but started to talk about some trivial matters of the Huo family.For example, what kind of flowers did Huo Chengjun like bloom, and what kind of calligraphy and painting did she buy that Huo Chengjun liked to hang in Huo Chengjun's room...
It's such a small thing, it's really easy to warm your heart.Xun Ying had a slight smile on her face from beginning to end, and the breath around her became more and more gentle.
Huo Xian saw that the atmosphere was good, so he opened his mouth to talk about his other purpose. "Jun'er, the relationship between you and the emperor is good now. It's best to hurry up and have a child. The husband and wife can only have a child in the long run."
Just as Xun Ying was about to answer, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the window. "The emperor is here!"
Huo Chengjun didn't bother to answer, and hurriedly got up to greet him.Huo Xian followed closely behind. "See Your Majesty."
"The queen doesn't need to be too polite." Liu Xun said and stretched out his hand to help Huo Chengjun up. He stretched out his hand and clasped Huo Chengjun's fingers, pulling her to walk towards the chief seat.Huo Xian, who was kneeling beside Huo Chengjun, didn't seem to catch his eyes at all, let alone Chun Ling who was serving beside him.
"Your Majesty..." Xun Ying didn't move her footsteps, she couldn't help but look at Huo Xian who was still saluting.
Liu Xun followed Huo Chengjun's line of sight and saw Huo Xian, as if he had just discovered her existence at this time, so he spoke. "Mrs. Huo is free."
Before Liu Xun came to the Jiaofang Palace where Huo Chengjun lives now, he knew that Huo Xian was in the Jiaofang Palace.Not only that, but he was very clear about some important conversations between them.Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, her every word and deed have been under his control.
Liu Xun knew that Huo Xian wanted to intervene in the affairs of the palace, but Huo Chengjun refused.This made Liu Xun's attitude towards Huo Chengjun more sincere.Although the Empress Dowager Shangguan is also inseparable from the Huo family, she is the Empress Dowager herself first, so she is naturally qualified to intervene in the affairs of the harem.
Not to mention guidance, even if she is in charge, no one can say anything.Mrs. Huo opened her mouth to talk about guidance, and her hand stretched a little longer.Not to mention that Mrs. Huo wants to guide Huo Chengjun's harem affairs, even the word 'guidance' is a bit out of line.
It's true that Huo Chengjun is Huo Xian's daughter, but now Huo Chengjun is the queen first, and then the children of the Huo family.Originally, Huo Chengjun wanted to salute Huo Guang and Huo Xian when he met Huo Guang and Huo Xian.Now Huo Guang and Huo Xian want to salute when they see Huo Chengjun.
What identity does Huo Xian have to guide a queen?Even if she is a mother, she can only be said to be assisting.Huo Xian still insisted on her elder status in front of Huo Chengjun, not only because she didn't take Huo Chengjun's queen's status seriously.Similarly, she didn't put him in the eyes of the emperor!
Liu Xun acted as if he could only see Huo Chengjun, which could not only make people feel that he loved Huo Chengjun a lot, but also ignore Huo Xian and make her unhappy.This is really killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huo Xian got up after thanking her, and she was indeed a little displeased.Since she became Huo Guang's stepwife, who didn't treat her with courtesy?She hadn't experienced such a neglected situation for a long time.
She thought that the reason why she was ignored was because Liu Xun only saw Huo Chengjun in his eyes.It really looks like he loves Huo Chengjun extremely.No matter how much anger she had, she held back under this reason.
Liu Xun took Huo Chengjun's hand and walked to the main seat, and the two sat on the left and right.He even reached out and took Huo Chengjun's hand in his own.The fingers seemed to be playing with Huo Chengjun's fingers unconsciously, and the slightly cool fingers were dyed with some warmth.
Huo Xian saw that everyone around him was acting like he was used to it, and he was sure that Liu Xun was not just doing it for her.He was obviously used to being close to Huo Chengjun, and he didn't even care about other people's eyes.
"It's rare for Mrs. Huo to enter the palace once. What's the point of entering the palace this time?" Liu Xun asked as if he didn't know anything.
"Jun... The queen was raised by the concubine alone. After entering the palace, the concubine naturally misses her very much." Huo Xian wanted to call Huo Chengjun Juner, Liu Xun glanced at her, and she was unconscious changed to queen.
"En." Liu Xun replied, saying that he had heard it.
Huo Xian's fingers tightened slightly. In her opinion, since she said that she missed Huo Chengjun very much, the emperor should simply let her come to the palace more.Although the emperor's meaning is more of a scene, she can take it seriously.Even if she entered the palace frequently, no one could make irresponsible remarks against Liu Xun's words.But...she said it, Liu Xun didn't accept the move at all, she was really helpless.
After she left the palace this time, she would have to wait for some time to enter the palace again.She told Huo Chengjun to have an heir early, but she didn't know if Huo Chengjun listened.
At first Liu Xun just played with Huo Chengjun's palm with one hand, but after seeing that Huo Xian hadn't spoken for a long time, he simply wrapped Huo Chengjun's palm with both hands.Let her whole hand be stained with her own temperature.
On the night of just getting married, Liu Xun felt the coolness of Huo Chengjun's palm with his forehead.At first, he only thought that it might be because Huo Chengjun went out early in the morning, so he got a bit of chill, so it was a bit chilly.
With these days of getting along, he will know.Huo Chengjun's palms are slightly cool most of the time, not because of the cold.
Following this discovery, Liu Xun also got used to wrapping Huo Chengjun's palm in his own.He likes the cool temperature very much, and feeling the cool palm warm up a little bit in his palm also gives people a sense of accomplishment.
This kind of quiet, others feel nothing.Huo Xian couldn't sit still anymore, she could clearly see that Liu Xun was still somewhat displeased with her.But it seems that because of Huo Chengjun, he didn't show obvious anger.But he didn't show her much affection.
Huo Xian couldn't sit still anymore, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Now that His Majesty is by your side, the empress doesn't need my concubine to sit by, and this concubine will leave."
When Huo Xian resigned, he mentioned Huo Chengjun again, which was naturally not accidental.She was reminding Liu Xun that no matter how much he disliked her, she was also Huo Chengjun's mother.If she goes too far, Huo Chengjun is the most unattractive.
"Madam Huo, go slowly." Liu Xun curled his lips and looked up at Huo Xian. "The queen is fine in the palace, Mrs. Huo doesn't have to worry about it."
On the surface, he said that he didn't need to worry about Huo Chengjun.In fact, what she wants to emphasize is that she should not think about meddling in the affairs of the palace.
"With His Majesty's words, the ministers and concubines should feel at ease." Huo Xian really didn't understand the meaning of Liu Xun's words.She didn't know that Liu Xun had already known about the conversation between the two.
Liu Xun watched Huo Xian leave, his eyes were on Huo Chengjun, and he didn't speak for a long time.The palms of the two overlapped, but there was no movement.
Even Xun Ying felt that her palm, which was touching Liu Xun's palm, was already at the same temperature as the other hand.Her expression remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"
Liu Xun met Huo Chengjun's gaze, and the complicated expression in his eyes did not have time to restrain himself.For just a moment, the smile on his lips was somewhat similar to that of Huo Chengjun. "I don't know what Mrs. Huo said to Jun'er?"
There are also several serving ladies and eunuchs in the room.However, these people are relatively close to him or Huo Chengjun.Liu Xun naturally changed the address from 'Queen' to 'Gentleman'.
Liu Xun's eyes met Huo Chengjun's, and he was also a little concerned about Huo Chengjun's answer.He knew the conversation between the two of them, if not completely.However, if you leave the Jiaofang Palace.He can also hear what he didn't finish listening clearly.Many of the Jiaofang Palace are his eyes and ears.
"My mother is worried that I am not familiar with the affairs of the palace. She came here to guide me. But with the Empress Dowager Shangguan here, I don't need my mother to worry about the affairs of the harem." Xun Ying said, what she said was very true.In the words, she could vaguely see her closeness to Huo Xian.
"Jun'er did a great job." Liu Xun praised Huo Chengjun.He was really very satisfied with Huo Chengjun's behavior of preventing Huo Xian from intervening in the affairs of the palace.However, he also knew very well that Huo Chengjun couldn't stand on the same line with him all the time.
"Your Majesty is satisfied." Xun Ying showed a bit of joy on her face, and then she tightened the palms she held with Liu Xun, as if she was a little hesitant.
"What else?" Liu Xun asked again.
Xun Ying lowered her head slightly, and looked at her palm being held by Liu Xun, "Mother said that the concubine and His Majesty have a good relationship now, and should have a child as soon as possible."
Huo Chengjun's words sounded a bit shy, but from Liu Xun's perspective, he could clearly see the smile on her face.
"..." is indeed a bit ridiculous.The two have been married for more than a month, and they are a loving couple in the eyes of others.But in fact, they have never shared the same bed.
Liu Xun overheard Huo Chengjun say something on the wedding night, and at the beginning he was somewhat skeptical that Huo Chengjun didn't want an heir with the blood of the Huo family.
Now that the Huo family is very powerful, if there is a son of the Huo family, the Huo family can support him as emperor in a fair and just manner.Even if this child can't become the eldest son, he is still a real legitimate son.
Although Liu Shi is the eldest son of Xu Pingjun.But because his mother's family was not prosperous, Xu Pingjun was a deceased person.If he really wanted to fight for the throne of emperor, he might not be able to compare with Huo Chengjun's heir.
Liu Xun doesn't think that there are people who are indifferent to the position of emperor and are unwilling to let their children occupy this position.So he suspected that what Huo Chengjun said was a temptation to him.
However, Huo Chengjun could do the test when he was drunk, but it was impossible for Huo Chengjun to do it when he was sober.In the past month, he and Huo Chengjun seldom lay on the bed together.
Even at the beginning, the two of them lay under a quilt.After his breathing stabilized, Huo Chengjun would immediately get up and leave.I will poke a few acupuncture points on his body.Therefore, after Huo Chengjun entered the palace, his sleep quality improved a lot.
These days, although neither of them said anything.But it is very tacit understanding that they will not mention words such as intercourse.Except at night, they are very affectionate and sweet when they are outside.I'm afraid that no real loving couple can be so close to them.
Hearing Huo Chengjun say that Huo Xian made them want a child, Liu Xun also knew that Huo Xian or many people in the Huo family hoped that Huo Chengjun could give birth to a Huo family heir with the blood of the emperor.Now, does Huo Chengjun have this idea?
"Your Majesty, we can't decide when this child will come, just let nature take its course." Xun Ying then said.Those words were really open-minded.
Hearing Huo Chengjun's words, who can believe that the two of them have never done anything?Let nature take its course?They let nature take its course like this, fearing that it would be impossible for them to have children for the rest of their lives.This is exactly what he expected.
Looking at Huo Chengjun's still clear eyes, Liu Xun somehow felt that he was a bit cruel.It should be a pity for a woman not to be able to be a mother.However, he thought of the Huo family and Liu Shi who Xu Pingjun left behind.He no longer hesitated.
"I really can't be in a hurry." Liu Xun stretched out his hand and pulled Huo Chengjun, making her lean into his embrace.The woman's fragrance diffused to the nostrils, and her body was very soft.The two are so close physically, but actually they are very distant.
He designed Huo Chengjun for something else, so what is the purpose of Huo Chengjun following his wishes?Huo Chengjun didn't stay in Jiaofang Hall almost every night, so where did he go?He couldn't guess.Because he couldn't guess, his defense against Huo Chengjun never weakened.
Even though what Huo Chengjun has done since entering the palace is in line with his wishes, he is still very wary of her.It's not just the never-ending surveillance personnel around Huo Chengjun.At night, he also sent some trusted subordinates to follow up, but there was no news.
With a smile on her face, Xun Ying leaned her head slightly on Liu Xun's shoulder.Lifting her eyes slightly, she could even see Liu Xun's eyelashes clearly.She stretched out her arms to hug Liu Xun's body, and her whole body was in a posture of complete dependence.
"Your Majesty already has Liu Xi by his side, so there is no need to worry about heirs, otherwise the concubine will really be in a hurry." Xun Ying would be anxious, and she would only worry about whether Liu Xun would cut off her blood.It is by no means in a hurry to bear children for him.
Hearing Huo Chengjun mention Liu Shi, the defense in Liu Xun's eyes became more obvious.His hand holding Huo Chengjun even tightened slightly.He would not let Huo Chengjun give birth to an heir, and Liu Xi, the eldest son, was his preferred successor.
Although Liu Shi was young, he could already see his intelligence.In the future, if you do a good job of training and training, you will definitely be worthy of this great man.Liu Xun naturally protected Liu Shi closely.
Although Liu Shi was only three years old, he had already been given simple lessons.And on the grounds that he was receiving the teachings of the Taifu, he canceled the custom that he needed to come to pay his mother's greetings every day.The people around Liu Shi were also replaced by some of his most trusted ones.Every day, his food is tasted by a special person.
Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, he hasn't seen Liu Shi once.Before he trusted Huo Chengjun, it was impossible for him to put Liu Shi in front of Huo Chengjun.He even felt that Huo Chengjun would never be able to gain his trust.
Xun Ying could clearly see Liu Xun's distrust.She lowered her head slightly, her forehead touched Liu Xun's neck.When the cool temperature touched the deadly point, Liu Xun's body froze slightly.
Xun Ying lowered her voice so that no one could see and hear it except sixty. "Liu Shi will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations, he will be a good heir."
Subconsciously, Liu Xun wanted to push Huo Chengjun away. The feeling that everything he thought seemed to be known by her was really embarrassing.Especially when she doesn't know what she thinks.
However, the palm around his waist was tightened.He couldn't make much movement at all.Liu Xun slightly lowered his head to look at the woman leaning on him, his gaze was extremely serious.Huo Chengjun in his arms had a smile on his lips and leaned against him with his eyes closed.
No matter who sees such a scene, they will feel warm and sweet.After all, no one would see how many threats and warnings there were in Liu Xun's lowered eyes.No one would have noticed that Huo Chengjun's arm, which seemed to be casually placed around Liu Xun's waist, was a kind of restraint on people.
Although Liu Xun is not as at a loss now as he was when he first ascended the throne, he has been emperor for four years, and he knows how to deal with some affairs.However, he has no intention of relaxing at all, and he is no worse than when he was the emperor just now.
Because of his previous performance, it was even more rare for Liu Xun to relax.Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, Liu Xun would spare some time to walk around the palace with Huo Chengjun every day.In Weiyang Palace, there are many places where the footprints of the two of them are left.Moreover, those guards and maids who served by their side saw with their own eyes how tender and sweet the relationship between the two was.

If Liu Xun saw her, he might not have a good face.Maybe even Huo Chengjun would be implicated, so she suppressed her thoughts and endured it.
Now it's no secret that Huo Chengjun is favored by the government and the public, and among their aristocratic families.When Xu Pingjun was alive, perhaps he was really loved by Liu Xun.But it's too late, and now Liu Xun's behavior in her eyes is a manifestation of empathy.

Now the Huo family's backyard It is controlled by Huo Xian.She can control such a big Huo family so that no one can make mistakes, and she is also very sure about the huge harem affairs.

"The queen doesn't need to be too polite." Liu Xun said and stretched out his hand to help Huo Chengjun up. He stretched out his hand and clasped Huo Chengjun's fingers, pulling her to walk towards the chief seat.Huo Xian, who was kneeling beside Huo Chengjun, didn't seem to catch his eyes at all, let alone Chun Ling who was serving beside him.
"Your Majesty..." Xun Ying didn't move her footsteps, she couldn't help but look at Huo Xian who was still saluting.
Liu Xun followed Huo Chengjun's line of sight and saw Huo Xian, as if he had just discovered her existence at this time, so he spoke. "Mrs. Huo is free."
Before Liu Xun came to the Jiaofang Palace where Huo Chengjun lives now, he knew that Huo Xian was in the Jiaofang Palace.Not only that, but he was very clear about some important conversations between them.Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, her every word and deed have been under his control.

She thought that the reason why she was ignored was because Liu Xun only saw Huo Chengjun in his eyes.It really looks like he loves Huo Chengjun extremely.No matter how much anger she had, she held back under this reason.
Liu Xun took Huo Chengjun's hand and walked to the main seat, and the two sat on the left and right.He even reached out and took Huo Chengjun's hand in his own.The fingers seemed to be playing with Huo Chengjun's fingers unconsciously, and the slightly cool fingers were dyed with some warmth.
Huo Xian saw that everyone around him was acting like he was used to it, and he was sure that Liu Xun was not just doing it for her.He was obviously used to being close to Huo Chengjun, and he didn't even care about other people's eyes.
"It's rare for Mrs. Huo to enter the palace once. What's the point of entering the palace this time?" Liu Xun asked as if he didn't know anything.
"Jun... The queen was raised by the concubine alone. After entering the palace, the concubine naturally misses her very much." Huo Xian wanted to call Huo Chengjun Juner, Liu Xun glanced at her, and she was unconscious changed to queen.
"En." Liu Xun replied, saying that he had heard it.
Huo Xian's fingers tightened slightly. In her opinion, since she said that she missed Huo Chengjun very much, the emperor should simply let her come to the palace more.Although the emperor's meaning is more of a scene, she can take it seriously.Even if she entered the palace frequently, no one could make irresponsible remarks against Liu Xun's words.But...she said it, Liu Xun didn't accept the move at all, she was really helpless.
After she left the palace this time, she would have to wait for some time to enter the palace again.She told Huo Chengjun to have an heir early, but she didn't know if Huo Chengjun listened.
At first Liu Xun just played with Huo Chengjun's palm with one hand, but after seeing that Huo Xian hadn't spoken for a long time, he simply wrapped Huo Chengjun's palm with both hands.Let her whole hand be stained with her own temperature.
On the night of just getting married, Liu Xun felt the coolness of Huo Chengjun's palm with his forehead.At first, he only thought that it might be because Huo Chengjun went out early in the morning, so he got a bit of chill, so it was a bit chilly.
With these days of getting along, he will know.Huo Chengjun's palms are slightly cool most of the time, not because of the cold.
Following this discovery, Liu Xun also got used to wrapping Huo Chengjun's palm in his own.He likes the cool temperature very much, and feeling the cool palm warm up a little bit in his palm also gives people a sense of accomplishment.
This kind of quiet, others feel nothing.Huo Xian couldn't sit still anymore, she could clearly see that Liu Xun was still somewhat displeased with her.But it seems that because of Huo Chengjun, he didn't show obvious anger.But he didn't show her much affection.
Huo Xian couldn't sit still anymore, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Now that His Majesty is by your side, the empress doesn't need my concubine to sit by, and this concubine will leave."
When Huo Xian resigned, he mentioned Huo Chengjun again, which was naturally not accidental.She was reminding Liu Xun that no matter how much he disliked her, she was also Huo Chengjun's mother.If she goes too far, Huo Chengjun is the most unattractive.
"Madam Huo, go slowly." Liu Xun curled his lips and looked up at Huo Xian. "The queen is fine in the palace, Mrs. Huo doesn't have to worry about it."
On the surface, he said that he didn't need to worry about Huo Chengjun.In fact, what she wants to emphasize is that she should not think about meddling in the affairs of the palace.
"With His Majesty's words, the ministers and concubines should feel at ease." Huo Xian really didn't understand the meaning of Liu Xun's words.She didn't know that Liu Xun had already known about the conversation between the two.
Liu Xun watched Huo Xian leave, his eyes were on Huo Chengjun, and he didn't speak for a long time.The palms of the two overlapped, but there was no movement.
Even Xun Ying felt that her palm, which was touching Liu Xun's palm, was already at the same temperature as the other hand.Her expression remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"
Liu Xun met Huo Chengjun's gaze, and the complicated expression in his eyes did not have time to restrain himself.For just a moment, the smile on his lips was somewhat similar to that of Huo Chengjun. "I don't know what Mrs. Huo said to Jun'er?"
There are also several serving ladies and eunuchs in the room.However, these people are relatively close to him or Huo Chengjun.Liu Xun naturally changed the address from 'Queen' to 'Gentleman'.
Liu Xun's eyes met Huo Chengjun's, and he was also a little concerned about Huo Chengjun's answer.He knew the conversation between the two of them, if not completely.However, if you leave the Jiaofang Palace.He can also hear what he didn't finish listening clearly.Many of the Jiaofang Palace are his eyes and ears.
"My mother is worried that I am not familiar with the affairs of the palace. She came here to guide me. But with the Empress Dowager Shangguan here, I don't need my mother to worry about the affairs of the harem." Xun Ying said, what she said was very true.In the words, she could vaguely see her closeness to Huo Xian.
"Jun'er did a great job." Liu Xun praised Huo Chengjun.He was really very satisfied with Huo Chengjun's behavior of preventing Huo Xian from intervening in the affairs of the palace.However, he also knew very well that Huo Chengjun couldn't stand on the same line with him all the time.
"Your Majesty is satisfied." Xun Ying showed a bit of joy on her face, and then she tightened the palms she held with Liu Xun, as if she was a little hesitant.
"What else?" Liu Xun asked again.
Xun Ying lowered her head slightly, and looked at her palm being held by Liu Xun, "Mother said that the concubine and His Majesty have a good relationship now, and should have a child as soon as possible."
Huo Chengjun's words sounded a bit shy, but from Liu Xun's perspective, he could clearly see the smile on her face.
"..." is indeed a bit ridiculous.The two have been married for more than a month, and they are a loving couple in the eyes of others.But in fact, they have never shared the same bed.
Liu Xun overheard Huo Chengjun say something on the wedding night, and at the beginning he was somewhat skeptical that Huo Chengjun didn't want an heir with the blood of the Huo family.
Now that the Huo family is very powerful, if there is a son of the Huo family, the Huo family can support him as emperor in a fair and just manner.Even if this child can't become the eldest son, he is still a real legitimate son.
Although Liu Shi is the eldest son of Xu Pingjun.But because his mother's family was not prosperous, Xu Pingjun was a deceased person.If he really wanted to fight for the throne of emperor, he might not be able to compare with Huo Chengjun's heir.
Liu Xun doesn't think that there are people who are indifferent to the position of emperor and are unwilling to let their children occupy this position.So he suspected that what Huo Chengjun said was a temptation to him.
However, Huo Chengjun could do the test when he was drunk, but it was impossible for Huo Chengjun to do it when he was sober.In the past month, he and Huo Chengjun seldom lay on the bed together.
Even at the beginning, the two of them lay under a quilt.After his breathing stabilized, Huo Chengjun would immediately get up and leave.I will poke a few acupuncture points on his body.Therefore, after Huo Chengjun entered the palace, his sleep quality improved a lot.
These days, although neither of them said anything.But it is very tacit understanding that they will not mention words such as intercourse.Except at night, they are very affectionate and sweet when they are outside.I'm afraid that no real loving couple can be so close to them.
Hearing Huo Chengjun say that Huo Xian made them want a child, Liu Xun also knew that Huo Xian or many people in the Huo family hoped that Huo Chengjun could give birth to a Huo family heir with the blood of the emperor.Now, does Huo Chengjun have this idea?
"Your Majesty, we can't decide when this child will come, just let nature take its course." Xun Ying then said.Those words were really open-minded.
Hearing Huo Chengjun's words, who can believe that the two of them have never done anything?Let nature take its course?They let nature take its course like this, fearing that it would be impossible for them to have children for the rest of their lives.This is exactly what he expected.
Looking at Huo Chengjun's still clear eyes, Liu Xun somehow felt that he was a bit cruel.It should be a pity for a woman not to be able to be a mother.However, he thought of the Huo family and Liu Shi who Xu Pingjun left behind.He no longer hesitated.
"I really can't be in a hurry." Liu Xun stretched out his hand and pulled Huo Chengjun, making her lean into his embrace.The woman's fragrance diffused to the nostrils, and her body was very soft.The two are so close physically, but actually they are very distant.
He designed Huo Chengjun for something else, so what is the purpose of Huo Chengjun following his wishes?Huo Chengjun didn't stay in Jiaofang Hall almost every night, so where did he go?He couldn't guess.Because he couldn't guess, his defense against Huo Chengjun never weakened.
Even though what Huo Chengjun has done since entering the palace is in line with his wishes, he is still very wary of her.It's not just the never-ending surveillance personnel around Huo Chengjun.At night, he also sent some trusted subordinates to follow up, but there was no news.
With a smile on her face, Xun Ying leaned her head slightly on Liu Xun's shoulder.Lifting her eyes slightly, she could even see Liu Xun's eyelashes clearly.She stretched out her arms to hug Liu Xun's body, and her whole body was in a posture of complete dependence.
"Your Majesty already has Liu Xi by his side, so there is no need to worry about heirs, otherwise the concubine will really be in a hurry." Xun Ying would be anxious, and she would only worry about whether Liu Xun would cut off her blood.It is by no means in a hurry to bear children for him.
Hearing Huo Chengjun mention Liu Shi, the defense in Liu Xun's eyes became more obvious.His hand holding Huo Chengjun even tightened slightly.He would not let Huo Chengjun give birth to an heir, and Liu Xi, the eldest son, was his preferred successor.
Although Liu Shi was young, he could already see his intelligence.In the future, if you do a good job of training and training, you will definitely be worthy of this great man.Liu Xun naturally protected Liu Shi closely.
Although Liu Shi was only three years old, he had already been given simple lessons.And on the grounds that he was receiving the teachings of the Taifu, he canceled the custom that he needed to come to pay his mother's greetings every day.The people around Liu Shi were also replaced by some of his most trusted ones.Every day, his food is tasted by a special person.
Since Huo Chengjun entered the palace, he hasn't seen Liu Shi once.Before he trusted Huo Chengjun, it was impossible for him to put Liu Shi in front of Huo Chengjun.He even felt that Huo Chengjun would never be able to gain his trust.
Xun Ying could clearly see Liu Xun's distrust.She lowered her head slightly, her forehead touched Liu Xun's neck.When the cool temperature touched the deadly point, Liu Xun's body froze slightly.
Xun Ying lowered her voice so that no one could see and hear it except sixty. "Liu Shi will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations, he will be a good heir."
Subconsciously, Liu Xun wanted to push Huo Chengjun away. The feeling that everything he thought seemed to be known by her was really embarrassing.Especially when she doesn't know what she thinks.
However, the palm around his waist was tightened.He couldn't make much movement at all.Liu Xun slightly lowered his head to look at the woman leaning on him, his gaze was extremely serious.Huo Chengjun in his arms had a smile on his lips and leaned against him with his eyes closed.
No matter who sees such a scene, they will feel warm and sweet.After all, no one would see how many threats and warnings there were in Liu Xun's lowered eyes.No one would have noticed that Huo Chengjun's arm, which seemed to be casually placed around Liu Xun's waist, was a kind of restraint on people.
