Chapter three hundred and seventieth tree off work Jing
"My motherland has always had beautiful trees, but they are so sweet and hidden that they are completely free from the worldly customs." [Ginkgo Song]
"Your Majesty is joking." Empress Dong took the ginkgo leaf and gently turned it between her fingers. Her eyes were calmly looking at the fan-shaped leaves. The golden antlers on her head shone under her eyes, matching the branches.
The yellow leaves on her head complement each other. As her eyes moved, she chuckled and said: "I have been living in Yeting all day long and have not left the palace for a long time. Now I have really got my wish."
"The queen's words seem like I have treated you harshly." The emperor smiled, leaned back and leaned on the bench. Once the women in the palace entered the palace, it was difficult to go out. Every day, they had to deal with those hundreds of years old.
Accompanied by the palace wall, no matter how lively the heart is, it will become indifferent. In the past, I ignored this layer, but now everything is on the right track, but I have to take the women to relax and cultivate feelings from time to time.
Empress Dong smiled and said nothing, but her eyes never left the ginkgo leaf that the emperor broke off for her. She was a person who liked luxury and enjoyment, but as a queen in troubled times, she had to adopt a simple and thrifty posture.
Now that I see this ordinary yellow leaf, I cherish it so much that I wish I could have it inlaid with gold and wear it on my head.
Seemingly casually, she handed the ginkgo leaf to Chang Yu beside her, then turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty is worried about the world, so why not let me and my concubines be a little neglected? After all, time is still long. From now on, no matter what the big man is,
Wherever it is, it will get better."
"The queen is right." The emperor's eyes deepened, and he suddenly saw that today's Empress Dong was dressed particularly attractively. She wore gold jewelry on her head, which was simple yet grand. The bright sunlight was shining through the gaps between the ginkgo branches and leaves.
It reflected the sparkling brilliance. That pretty face was even more dazzling in the sunlight, and her charming appearance, coupled with the charming queen's clothes, really made the emperor squint his eyes.
Empress Dong felt proud, but she pretended to be shy with a shy smile on her face and lowered her head.
Song Du, who was sitting at the bottom, accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, and her heart couldn't stop feeling sour. In addition, she never liked Empress Dong's style, so she couldn't help but snorted. Guo Cainu was taken aback and hurriedly
After winking at Song Du several times, Song Du, who was unhappy in his heart, calmed down.
The emperor came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Song Du's childish look. He said, "Look at the red maple forest down there. It's quite beautiful. I remember there is a pottery vat in your palace. If you transplant some maples in the yard,
The red leaves of the tree are reflected in the water, and they also form a beautiful contrast. This time, you ask Mu Shun to follow you, and you and Fu Shou go to the maple forest to take a look, pick two maple trees, and break a few more red maple branches. I will have people arrange them in Xuan.
Go to the palace."
Song Du immediately became interested. She couldn't sit still, and she saw the red fire growing on the red maple below the stage, which was no less than the ginkgo leaves covering the sky. After hearing this, she immediately held Fu Shou's men and said yes.
, he called up Mushun and went to Linyuan Ling and other palace officials to lead him there.
Empress Dong knew that today was a happy day and it was not appropriate to copy the rules of the palace to spoil the fun. Also, in front of the emperor, she was happy to show a generous and generous attitude, so she nodded with a smile and let Song Du go.
. Seeing Song Du, after Fu Shou left, Empress Dong said calmly: "The eldest princess has sent people for so long, but there has been no reply. Maybe something has happened, why doesn't Your Majesty send someone to report it?
"
"It doesn't matter if I've been gone for a long time, I already have a plan in mind." The emperor took a sip of wine and said casually.
Empress Dong was a thoughtful person. After hearing these words, she immediately took it to heart. It was unreasonable for a prince-in-law to pick up the princess, not to mention the delay for so long. She contacted the emperor. What he said just now seemed to be spoken casually, and he suddenly understood something in his heart. He said to the emperor: "I don't know which prince-in-law your majesty has appointed. If you are delayed by driving, I will be here later. I will punish him."
"This is Zhou Yu of Lujiang. He came from Liangzhou just a few months ago. He was transferred to the Prince Consort not long ago. He is not familiar with the affairs." The emperor smiled. It was rare for him to talk to Empress Dong about the affairs of the previous dynasty. At this moment, the conversation inevitably started: " This man has great talent, but after all he is a bit younger and has made great achievements in Liangzhou. Let him be a prince-in-law and temper his temper. After some time, I will have another great use for him."
Empress Dong laughed at the emperor's plain and straightforward words. In fact, she understood what he meant: "Your Majesty's vision in selecting and choosing people is unparalleled in the world. Zhou Yu is an extremely talented person. Even in the palace, I have heard of several Sentence...it is said that this person is not yet married?"
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he chuckled and said, "The queen wants to be a matchmaker?"
"Your Majesty thinks so." Empress Dong rolled her eyes at him very charmingly. It seemed that the emperor had made up his mind. Zhou Yu and Liu Jiang were bound to get married. All they needed now was a reason... Then she couldn't help but go to Huaiyuan Noble Man. Tang Ji looked over at the empty seat next to her and was about to speak when she heard the visitor order Li Jian to come and report that the Princess of Ten Thousand Years had arrived.
"I've met the eldest princess."
Tang Ji, the noble lady of Huaiyuan, sat awkwardly aside for a long time. Seeing the scene of the emperor and Empress Dong enjoying themselves happily, she felt very sad. It was hard to intervene in the conversation between the emperor and the empress, let alone follow the people from the Song Dynasty. Went down to the runway to enjoy the maple leaves, and now we finally saw Liu Jiang. She quickly stood up and said hello to him.
Liu Jiang and Tang Ji had not seen each other for several months. At this time, they only glanced at each other briefly and then moved forward.
"Zhou Gongjin is not good at imperial skills, which caused the imperial sister to arrive late. He should be punished." The emperor carefully looked at Liu Jiang's expression, but he did not dare to look down for a moment.
Liu Jiang went against his usual cold and cold attitude and said with a smile on his face: "He is so valued by His Majesty. Are you really willing to punish him for a trivial matter?"
Tang Ji had just heard that the Emperor and Empress Dong had been talking short and long stories about Zhou Yu, and now she heard that Liu Jiang was doing the same, and suddenly realized that things were not simple. She was also from a powerful family, and it goes without saying that she was smart, otherwise she wouldn't be. She would quickly gain favor after Emperor Xiaohuai ascended the throne. But now that she was a widow, there were some things that she didn’t need to understand too clearly, so she stood where she was and wanted to excuse herself.
Liu Jiang said to her at this time: "You and I have not seen each other for a long time. I will go to your residence to look for you in a while."
Tang Ji agreed and left in a hurry without even raising her head.
After everyone left, Empress Dong stood up with a smile, took Liu Jiang's hand affectionately, and said bluntly: "Zhou Gongjin's talent and appearance are really rare. I wonder what the eldest princess thinks?"
The emperor also looked at Liu Jiang expectantly. The look on his face really looked like a brother who was thinking about his sister's life-long affairs. After all, in his opinion, he only had this sister in this life. Since he had cut off her chance with Fu Qian , then she must be given a better husband as compensation. Originally, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were good candidates, but they all had shortcomings in one way or another, until they met Zhou Yu, a man with almost perfect conditions in all aspects. .
But in Liu Jiang's view, Liu Xie, who valued love and justice, had gradually faded away in her memory, and the emperor's look only made her feel strange. She also understood that if she continued to persist, she would only fall out with the emperor.
She wanted to swallow this unwillingness.
Finally, under Empress Dong's enthusiastic matchmaking, the cold and noble Princess Liu Jiang finally acted like a shy little daughter and whispered: "What else can I say? Everything is up to the emperor."
