The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 31 Taoism

When Hualili woke up the next day, it was already three shots in the sun.

The palace attendant of Shoukang Palace was used to getting up late at Fushou County and secretly sympathized in her heart. It was the life of Miss Qianjin, but because of poor health, she could not eat or play, and the medicine could not leave her mouth.

The Empress Dowager woke up to see Liu Liuli and asked the court lady to serve her for breakfast.

"Your mother went to the Chenyang Palace to meet the emperor, and I will pick you up later." The queen mother smiled and said, "Sorry at night, I heard that you left the palace last night?"

Hua Liuli swallowed the food in her mouth, and then gargle: "The queen mother and the courtier accidentally came back late last night, but are you noisy?"

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. You young people, you should look more when you go to play." The back of the mother's face is filled with memories, "When the mourning family was young, he also sneaked away with Xiandi in the middle of the night. After leaving the palace, I was still afraid of being discovered by those speakers after being out of the palace, and secretly acting like a thief."

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded away, perhaps to remember that the Emperor Xiandi had passed away, or perhaps to miss those past days that could not be caught.After a long time, she chuckled: "At that time, very happy."

Hua Liuli has heard stories about Emperor Xian, and it is said that Emperor Xian and the Empress are sweethearts, and they have a very good relationship.Unfortunately, this beautiful emotional story does not have a perfect ending.More than ten years after the first emperor took the throne, he began to spoil a beautiful concubine. Even after the concubine gave birth to a prince, he said that he would re-establish the prince.

However, Xiandi's vow to the beautiful princess did not come true, because he soon became ill and had no chance to speak of the re-establishment of the Crown Prince until his death.

Perhaps for the Empress Dowager, a man who has changed his mind and even tried to harm his child is the best ending.

Whether Emperor Xiandi died of illness or other causes is no longer of interest. Anyway, in the history books, he died of illness.Today, His Majesty Saint Ming Rende, today's Queen Mother is kind and virtuous, everything is perfect.

Even the Empress Dowager now mentions Emperor Emperor, the tone is as calm as if Emperor Emperor never hurt her, and all love and hatred are overwhelming, not worth mentioning.

Hualili didn't understand whether it was love or not, hate or not hate.But she understands the truth, if you can't get the feelings like father and mother, it is better not to.

"Good boy." The Queen Mother smiled. "Ai's family is old. Looking at a little girl like you, you can't help but miss the past."

The Empress Dowager's expression returned to normal: "In half a month, it will be the Flower Festival. On that day, there will be a lot of little girls to worship the Hundred Flowers Fairy. Can you have the right clothes and jewelry?

"The clothes are not lacking, but I don't know why. After putting on, there is always no empress dowager. You look good for the court ladies." Hua Liuli Liuliu frowned slightly. "The court lady thinks about it, this is the queen maid. The eyes of the courtiers and daughters were raised."

"This has become the fault of the mourning family. Where does this come from?" The queen mother was amused by Hua Liuli's eyebrows. "Relax, the mourning family has already prepared the clothes to be worn on the Huazong Festival for you. The girls in Beijing are not as good as you."

"It was the princes and daughters who said they were wrong. You are the best empress dowager." Hualili pretends to be cute and amuse the empress dowager. "With you, the servants and daughters will be able to dump thousands of men and women."

"That's amazing." The Queen Mother took Hualili and sat next to her, teasing her: "If the girl Lang Jun cried and shouted to marry you, what would you do?"

"Then I will hide from you." Huali Li said with a vigorous heart. "The clothes you gave to your courtiers also helped, so you must also bear three points of responsibility for the troubles."

The queen mother was amused by Hua Liuli's words and threw away the previous sadness. The little girl next to her was beautiful and cute. How could you remember a man who had made an antiquity?

When Wei Mingyue returned from Chenyang Palace, he saw such a scene. The Shoukang Palace was standing with two rows of palace attendants holding jewelry and Chinese costumes, and the queen mother was like a playboy who was anxious to coax the beauty and make these Chinese costumes beautiful. Let the beauty choose.

Oh, her uneasy daughter is the beauty who was coaxed and held.

"Ruby on this forehead..."

"Your skin is white and tender, and it looks good with this." The queen mother did not wait for Hua Liuli to open her mouth, and asked the court lady to put it away.

"Most of the clothes you wear on the weekdays are mostly plain, and the family feels that this red embroidered gilt skirt is also beautiful." The queen mother picked out a thin cicada-like drape and put it on the red skirt. Take it, and wear it on your body is the goddess of the world, perfect."

"Queen Empress Dowager." General Wei is not too interested in hair ring jewelry. As long as he sees these hair ring jewelry, he feels a headache.

"I'm coming back so soon?" The queen mother was a little lost, and she wanted to pick more sets of clothes and jewelry for Hua Liuli.

She is older and usually has nothing to do, and this hobby is left.

I don't know how long the little girl in the flower family looks. Although she looks thin and thin, she is a natural hanger and looks good in everything she wears.Dressing this little girl is the easiest way to bring satisfaction.

"Come on, come here and accompany Ai's family to choose Liuli." The empress beckoned to Wei Mingyue, and by the way she dismissed, "Ai's family knows that you and Yingting are very busy on both days, but you have such a good-looking child. The girl should also dress her well. God made you give birth to such a beautiful daughter, it is not for you to spoil her appearance."

"The Empress Dowager, where will he and his son be willing to make Liuli suffer..."

"In the eyes of the mourning family, if you don't dress her well, it's a mess." The queen mother pointed to a box of jewelry. "Look, which one is best for glaze?"

Wei Mingyue froze: "The queen mother, it is easier for you to let the general go to the border to kill the enemy."

"Liu Li, don't learn from your mother-in-law. When you were young, it was troublesome to dress up, so you went out in men's clothing." The queen mother turned to Hua Liuli to choose Er Heng: "The girls in the capital do not love Erlang and love the face."

Hua Liuli covered her mouth and smiled. No wonder there are still little girls who are going to marry their mothers.

The Queen Mother knew that their family was reunited with four people, and she must have been thinking about it, so she did not stay with her mother and daughter for a long time. They took the picked things away and let Hualiu take them away.

When Hua Liuli returned home, the plaque outside the door had changed from "Huafu" to "Zhongyonghoufu", and the gatekeeper's servant had also become a soldier in armor.

"Dear mother, hasn't Daddy already performed armor removal?" According to the rules, no one with a military post can have a guard with a knife.

"Your Majesty let your father serve as a military secretary, but your father refused with his old wounds." Wei Mingyue stepped into the gate of Hou Mansion. "Your Majesty let your father retain the name of the general and seal him as the prince and prince."

"It turns out so." Hua Liuli sighed softly. "That's fine."

"At a young age, we have to worry about things at home, what do you sigh?" General Wei came to his seat and swayed back the servants who came to salute the master. "Your Majesty also sealed the Marquis, I Even if you don’t have the military power with your father now, a couple of people will also attract a lot of people."

As he was saying, Hua Yingting walked in with Hua Changkong, and the family of four finally had a chance to speak well.

"Mother." Hua Changkong gave General Wei a big gift.

"I am away from your father these days. You have taken care of your sister and your family very well. You have worked hard." General Wei patted her son's shoulder in front of her children.

"If you can return safely, your son will be relieved." Hua Changkong smiled, "Sister is very clever and does not use me to control."

"You don't need to speak for her, what kind of temper she is, for her mother's heart." General Wei nodded Hua Liuli's forehead and turned to Hua Changkong: "I see you look thinner, don't study too hard, your body is important ."

"Yes, the body is the most important." Hua Yingting quickly nodded, "In our house, people are the first, and then talk about other things."

"Fathers, mothers, and sons know in their hearts that they will do what they can." Hua Changkong said, "But now that the Jin Dynasty is on the rise, the civil service status will definitely surpass the military commander in the next four or fifty years. Neutral."

"Then you should drink more Shouwu Angelica Chicken Soup in the future." When the whole family was very moved, Hualiuli whispered, "You should also eat black sesame."

"Why?" Hua Yingting asked curiously, "Good girl, what does this have to do with your third brother studying?"

"Because of studying too much, it is easy to be bald." Hua Liuli said, "The third brother is handsome, if he does not have hair, it will not look good."

Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue looked at his son together, imagined his son's baldness, and immediately shook his head: "That must be drunk."

Their flower family, but no such ugly son.

Hua Changkong was suddenly silent. At this moment, he deeply doubted that he might have picked it up.

"Is that Prince Ava still in trouble today?" The bald Dali Siqing touched his head and turned over the genealogy in his hand, looking at it with relish.

"It's still Pei Shaoqing's method. He fed him half a bowl of water today. He obediently drank it clean and didn't talk about it." The official in charge of Awa said. "But it looks like he hasn't seen it yet. Give up the plan to see Lord Fushou."

"Don't pay attention to him." In order to investigate the case, Zhang Shuo read all the family records of the parties involved in the case and found an interesting thing.

"Speaking of this Fushou County Master, I found the Hua Family very interesting." Zhang Shuohao beckoned Pei Jihuai, who was reading the information in the corner, "Come on, come and see."

"Adult?" Pei Ji thought that Zhang Shuo had found some useful evidence. When he approached, he saw Zhang Shuo pointing him to several names on the fingerprints. These people were all ancestors of the Hua family.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"When we talked about the Huajia, we all felt that they were the family of generals, but we didn't notice that there were several capable officials in their family." Zhang Shuo pointed at one of them, "there is still the leader of the civil service, prime minister In place."

Not only are most of these Huachen literary ministers extremely princes, but in the end they all steadily retired to their hometowns.It may be because the military service of the Hua family is too loud, and no one has noticed this much.

After pointing Pei Jihuai, Zhang Shuo smiled and put away the genealogy in his hand, and touched his bare head: "But this is all a family affair, and we don't have much to do with us, don't need to take it out and talk."

"Adult is right." Pei Ji thought a thought in his heart, but he thought he thought too much, maybe it was just a coincidence?

"My lord, Your Royal Highness is here."

Zhang Shuo didn't understand the prince's intention and quickly stood up: "Hurry up."

"Master Zhang doesn't have to pay much courtesy." The prince brought him in with the fish and raised his hand to avoid their courtesy. "I came alone today to see the second prince Jinbo."

"You please." Zhang Shuo did not hesitate to lead the way without hesitation.

The dungeon had an unpleasant smell, Zhang Shuo was used to it, but he didn't feel anything.The attendant beside the prince took out a handkerchief and handed it to the prince.

The prince covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and did not conceal her disdain for such a place.As long as the servants around the prince saw an ugly person in the cell, they quickly pulled the curtain off and stopped the prince on both sides.

If there is any straw that accidentally fell on the ground in front, the eunuchs would pick it up in advance, as if the grass would stain the honorable feet of His Royal Highness.

Pei Jihuai glanced at the prince's clean soles. When he saw the prince last night, there was a lot of mud on the prince's shoes, and he didn't see those who were waiting so terribly.

"His Royal Highness, Awa, the prisoner of the Jinbo Kingdom, is imprisoned here." Zhang Shuo asked his men to open the door and said: "If there is anything you want to ask, please ask, Xiaguan and others are waiting outside."

The people at Dali Temple were completely retreated, leaving only the prince.

Speaking of interest, Dali Siqing is professional.

Awa was wearing shackles on his hands and feet. The chain was locked on the chain. The other end of the chain was welded to the wall. Even if the door was wide open, he could not escape.

For two days without food, he looked very haggard, and the corners of his dry mouth were sickly pale.

Hearing the voice of someone speaking, he opened his tired eyes, his voice hoarse: "Who are you... who?"

The coming person is dressed in a gorgeous brocade, and behind him are many people who wait for him. His identity must be unusual.

The prince glanced at the cell and did not know how long the dirt had not been washed away, did not walk in, and even the chair brought by the eunuch did not sit.

As the most beloved prince of King Kimber, Ava looks pretty good, with messy hair and beard that he hasn't taken care of for a long time, making him look very decadent.

Awa waited for a long time, and the other party did not speak.After he came to the capital of the Jin Dynasty, he tried to test Da Jin's bottom line with a hunger strike. Unexpectedly, Jin Jin ignored him as a prince, and did not seem to care about his life and death.

The more indifferent Da Jin's attitude toward him is, the more uneasy he is in his heart, which means that Da Jin has not taken Jin Po into his eyes at all, so he will be so arrogant.

After figuring out his situation, Ava came down honestly.Because he has to go back alive, only to go back alive can he become the king of Kimber.

"I don't know who is coming?" He helped the prison fence railing to stand up hard and saluted the pilgrim.

"Gu Gu heard that the second prince was very dissatisfied with my Dajin hospitality." The prince raised his eyebrows slightly.

He looks good, with the slightly peach blossom eyes and the raised eyebrows, as if mocking others.

Awabe felt humiliated. He lowered his head to prevent the crown prince from seeing his expression: "It turned out to be the Royal Highness Prince of Jin."

"The visitor is a guest, the host alone, it is time to see you as a guest." The prince raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch brought the wine to Ava. "I heard that the second prince wanted to see me toward the lord. Nice to meet the second prince, so the orphan came in person."

Seeing that Awa didn’t move those wine dishes, the prince looked slightly cold: "Why, the second prince dislikes the wine dishes prepared by you alone?

"Thank you, Prince His Highness." Awa took a sip from her hip flask with a cold face.The Emperor Dajin was very fond of the prince, he could not afford to offend this person.

But he heard that the emperor of Dajin, always likes to jealous of his children.The prince acted so arrogantly, and sooner or later the Emperor Jin would feel dissatisfied with the prince.

When several princes in Dajin are in chaos, they will have a chance.

Thinking of the territories sent from the surrender book, Ava was red with hate.If he hadn’t gotten into the Hua family’s crimes, and believed in the woman’s lies, how could it have ended like this.

"Eat meat." The prince lifted his chin.

The meat was a bit cold. Awa didn’t eat for two days. After eating it, I felt satisfied for the first bite. I couldn’t help but want to spit it out, but he knew that if he spit out at this time, he would offend this unintentional person. Prince.

He covered his mouth and swallowed the greasy and disgusting flesh.

"Continue." The prince's eyelids did not lift.

It was not until Awa finished eating all the meat on the table, and the prince could not bear it until the prince spoke slowly: "The second prince is an imperial family, and he must be more elegant when he eats. Otherwise, if others see him, he thinks Jin Po The royal family, do not understand what is etiquette."

Being forced to eat cold food, and being so insulted, Awa's full of hatred could hardly hide it.

"Prince Ava is brave and warrior. He once led troops to slaughter nearly 10,000 civilians in Huzhou, Dajin." The prince's eyes were a little cold. "See you today, but that's it."

After he finished speaking, he turned away from the prison and nodded slightly towards the officials of Dali Temple who were guarding the door, and got into the sedan chair.

"Your Highness, are you back to the palace?"

The car was quiet for a moment, and the prince said: "Go to the Taoist Temple in Beijing suburbs."

After sending off the prince, Pei Ji said: "Master, the prince seems to be in a bad mood today."

"Today is to honor the Queen's Memorial Day." Zhang Shuo said in a small voice, "Prince is in a bad mood, it is normal."

"Where did the prince go today?" Emperor Changlong asked the eunuch beside him.

"Returning to your majesty, the eunuch beside the prince reported that the prince went to Dali Temple, and then prepared to go to Beijing suburbs to relax." Zhao Sancai looked at His Majesty's complexion, "Can you call the prince back to the palace?"

"No, let's go with him today." Emperor Changlong waved his hand. At this time, an eunuch came in and reported that it was His Royal Highness who asked for advice.

"I don't see." I knew without guessing that the boss came to complain, and Emperor Changlong was too lazy to coax such a big son. "Such a big man, who hasn't grown up at all, knows to stare at Yuan Su to find me to complain."

Zhao Sancai looked down and grinded without talking.

The King of England heard that the father and the emperor could not see him, and turned to the Lincui Palace.If the emperor did not see him, he could not tell the emperor about the abuse of the captive by the prince.

"The abuse is good." Xianfei listened to what the king said, and did not look at the king. "This palace heard that the prince named Azhang led troops to attack Zhouzhou, a neighboring Qinghan state, a few years ago. Killed me, nearly everybody in Dajin..."

"Concubine, his name is Ava."

"I call him a cat or a dog." Xian Fei patted the table. "This kind of person is cleaned up by the prince. What's the matter with you?"

King of England: "..."

"Forget it." Xian Fei felt more and more angry. "The prince has already started this. Anyway, you have to find the trouble of the cat and the dog. It is a punishment for those innocent people."

"Concubine..." The British King looked at the concubine silently. "Aren't we looking for the prince's handle?"

"What kind of handle is this?" The princess stood up and pushed the king out of the door. "You can do something long."

So not long after Dali Temple sent away the prince that day, he ushered in a not-so-beautiful king.They hadn't figured out the purpose of the king, they saw the king sneered at the second prince Jinbo, and then went away.

Pei Ji looked at the Dali Temple skeptically: "Master Zhang, is Lord Royal not in a good mood today?"

Half an hour later, King Ning, who heard the news, also arrived.Although his brain is not very good, but he knows what the elder brother and the prince do, he follows what he learns to do.

It's just that he is born with a good character, and he is a bit greedy and afraid of death.He had to ask the doorman to prepare for him the curse words in advance, and then moved to a chair and sat outside the cell, holding a manuscript and scolding a lot of words.

After reading the manuscript, he felt that he was not performing well enough, and he grunted at the cell where Awa was, before touching the slightly convex belly and leaving with satisfaction.

Everyone at Dali Temple: "..."

Most of the princes today are at fault.

After finishing the meal at noon, Wei Mingyue said to Hua Liuli: "When I left Beijing, I went to Jingjiao Dao to make a wish, and let the fairy bless you to be born safely. Now that I am back in Beijing, I should go and resign."

"Mother, this is afternoon. You have just returned to Beijing. You have to rest for a few days before you go." Hua Liuli distressed Wei Mingyue's body and persuaded, "The Taoist temple is there and won't run away."

"When you can surrender, naturally the sooner the better." Wei Mingyue gently touched her daughter's head. She was carrying the child from the capital to Qinghanzhou all the way, thinking that the child would not be able to keep it, but The child was particularly clever, not only did not trouble her, but did not even have a morning sickness.

Even the suspicious spies in Qinghanzhou were only discovered when the kid suddenly kicked her stomach and took a rest next to the tea stall.

Because of that, the child who was just seven months old in her stomach could not wait to come to this world.

In her heart, this child is a gift from God to their husband and wife, cherished as a treasure, so she was named Liuli.

Liuli is precious and fragile, and they want to protect her for life.

"Liuli, you go with me." Wei Mingyue seeing flowers Yingting wants to follow up, adding, "Yingting and Changkong take good care of the house."

Hua Yingting sat back in dismay, "I can't go, those Miss Lang Jun on the roadside, you have to look less."

Wei Mingyue stared at him, and he quickly closed his mouth.

"Dad, I will take care of my mother-in-law, you can rest assured." Hua Liuli blinked toward Hua Yingting.

Hua Yingting thought, can pull it down, you two get together and only look at Lang Jun girl together.He even worries that there is no bottom line for a girl to spoil her daughter. What if the daughter looks at a man and helps her to rob the male man?

The mother and daughter happily went out, leaving the father and son to watch the house.

"Why should Taoist Temple be built on the mountain?" Hua Liuli was dragged by her mother and walked up the mountain. The whole person was like a little cabbage hit by frost.

"You are so lazy..." Suddenly, Wei Mingyue's painting style changed, "You are weak, pay more attention, the gods will bless you."

Hua Liuli looked up at Wei Mingyue, mother, did you dare to lie in front of the fairy?

Wei Mingyue smiled, the gods were all very generous, and they must not account for a little lie like her.

The mother and daughter released their hands calmly, and they saluted toward the person at the top of the steps: "His Royal Highness."

The author has something to say: Empress Dowager: Miracle Warm Senior senior players.

Ava: Shike can not be humiliated, so I choose to live.
