Hua Chun's heart is broken, but a woman is a creature who can say no, but is actually very comfortable. Seeing that the emperor has been kissing her tenderly, Hua Chun decided to endure it.
"The emperor hasn't come out all day."
In Huiming Palace, Concubine Hui said to the Empress Dowager full of worry: "I didn't go to the court in the morning, and the papers were not approved, and no one in our palace dared to ask for it."
The queen mother rubbed her forehead, waved her hand and said: "You have been with the emperor for a long time, can you still not know the emperor's heart? The prime minister was executed, so it will take him some time to recover."
"But..." Concubine Hui pursed her lips, there are different ways to calm down, right? It would be fine if he stayed in Zichen Palace, no one would say anything more, but the emperor just stayed in the palace of the brothel woman, how could he make other concubines think about it
Prime Minister Hua is gone, and all the concubines in the harem except Concubine Shu will set off firecrackers to celebrate. Without him, the emperor must have more time to go to the harem.
However, what I didn't expect was that after Hua Jinghua died, Huachun appeared again, and he was so favored as soon as he came, which made everyone more disgusted than Prime Minister Hua.
Seeing what the Empress Dowager meant, she didn't intend to warn the emperor, so Concubine Hui got up helplessly: "The concubine will retire first."
"It's good to rest." Empress Dowager Ning waved her hand, her face was full of exhaustion.
After Concubine Hui stepped back, the Empress Dowager saw her aunt on the moon and shed two lines of tears: "It's a pity..."
Yuejian comforted in a low voice: "Don't be sad, the Queen Mother. The rest of the Hua family have already left Yanjing, and the slaves ordered people to take care of it secretly. Except for Concubine Shu's biological mother Wu, everyone else has settled down in the towns near Yanjing. come down."
"Yes." Empress Dowager Ning asked, "Has the prime minister been buried?"
"The burial is finished." Yue Jian pursed her lips: "The emperor probably arranged for it. Although the Hua family's ancestral grave cannot be entered, it is near the Hua family's grave, and a very good tomb has been built."
"Sigh." Closing her eyes, the Empress Dowager said, "The Emperor is really reluctant to part with the Prime Minister. Even if he was ignorant and wronged him many times before, now that he is gone, he should regret it. Find someone to burn incense sticks for Ai's family." .”
"Yes." Yue Jian agreed.
Attack Yuhou Mansion.
After returning from the execution ground, He Changan sat on the corridor and threw stones into the pond in front of him, from early morning to dusk, with no expression on his face.
The housekeeper glanced at the servant who had been fishing for stones for a day, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is Hou Ye still feeling sorry for Prime Minister Hua?"
He Changan didn't say a word, but closed his eyes.
"Hey, today many people on the street spontaneously burnt paper money to the Prime Minister for his funeral. Lord Hou and the Prime Minister have a good relationship, and this old slave understands, but the deceased is gone, so don't be too sad."
More importantly, if you continue to throw them, the house slaves will die of exhaustion by the pond.
Gong Yuhou finally spoke, not sure if it was because he hadn't spoken for a day, his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm fine, I'll be fine after tonight."
Doesn't it look like it doesn't matter? My Lord Hou has always been clear and bright, with a smile on his face and a high spirit. Today, the whole day is like an eggplant beaten by frost, my whole body is lifeless, as if the sky is about to collapse.
He had only seen this expression twice after serving Lord Hou for so long. The last time was when both Lord Hou and his wife died of illness.
The old butler sighed, asked someone to bring the cloak, and changed a group of house slaves to continue to help Lord Hou pick up stones.
Dark clouds shrouded the sky above Yanjing, but the rain did not fall.
This night, many people in the court got a good night's sleep. Without Hua Jinghua, the future is bright. There are also many people who can't sleep all night, worrying about Daliang's future.
The envoys of the Western Xia Dynasty had already secretly embarked on their way back to the country. Prince Xi was behind to help, and the emperor did not stop them.
In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials felt that the emperor must be in a heavy heart, and that he might not be able to continue the court. However, when the time came, the emperor appeared energetic, with bright eyes and even a smile on his mouth!
he! it turns out! Laughing!
There was a "boom" in everyone's heart, and an old minister murmured: "It's over, it's over, once the prime minister is gone, the emperor went crazy right away?"
Prince Xi was also quite surprised. He frowned and looked at the emperor, and still saluted together: "Long live my emperor."
"Everyone loves you." The emperor's tone was brisk, and his eyes were rare and gentle. He scanned the court hall: "What's the important thing today?"
Originally, there were many things to be announced, but the officials below looked at each other, and carefully scrutinized the emperor's expression. They were very upset, and no one could figure out what the emperor was thinking, so they all fell silent. .
"Since it's all right, then I'll make an order." Yu Wenjie turned his head: "Eunuch Qin."
Eunuch Qin bowed, held the imperial decree and came out: "By God, the emperor said. The position of prime minister is vacant, and I am deeply saddened. I hope that those who are able will be able to live again. Today, Tang Yue, the head of the Ministry of Rites, is both civil and military. If there is a political solution, I will give him the position of prime minister, and hope that he will be loyal to the imperial court and live up to my high expectations. I admire this."
Before the officials could react, a young man standing at the end of the queue came out and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded, and said in a good mood: "I see that the other lovers have no objections, so let's leave it at that. Prime Minister Tang and I will go to Zichen Palace and retire."
"yes."
When Prince Xi came back to his senses, he saw the emperor swept out of the Xuanzheng Hall like a gust of wind, leaving a lot of people eager to speak, but they had already missed the opportunity.
what's the situation? How could the prime minister's position be given to the head of the Ministry of Rites so easily? He felt very incomprehensible, and turned to look at Li Zhongtang.
Li Zhongtang's face turned pale, he looked at the back of the young man leaving, and leaned close to Prince Xi and said softly, "That's the son of Grand Master Tang."
Prince Xi was taken aback.
Grand Master Tang has been exiled, how did his son-in-law enter the court and become the head of the Ministry of Rites, no one knows? Now that he has ascended to the sky and become the prime minister, isn't he going to continue to help the emperor control the government
Frowning tightly, Yu Wenxi waved his sleeves and left the Xuanzheng Hall.
He Chang'an looked a little dazed, followed the emperor to Zichen Hall, looked at Tang Yue who was kneeling down, and couldn't concentrate all the time.
He didn't fall asleep last night, walking now is like stepping on clouds in a dream, and he can't hear what the emperor is saying at all.
"Do it well, Prime Minister Hua's previous connections and relationships will be handed over to you soon." The emperor looked at Tang Yue and said, "Don't let me down."
He was ordered in danger, right? Tang Yue kowtowed very solemnly: "I understand!"
Waving him back, the emperor looked at He Chang'an beside him and said, "Go, I'll take you to see her."
"Who are you seeing?" He Changan hadn't recovered yet, his eyes were full of bewilderment.
"Your virtuous brother." The emperor thought for a while: "Or virtuous sister?"
He Changan was stunned.
From the beginning of discussing how to save Hua Jinghua to now, he has been in a very confused state, because the emperor said that he would take Hua Jinghua into the harem, and the worst plan he could think of was to make Jinghua the emperor's pamper.
Originally, I wanted to object, how can a dignified prime minister become a prostitute? It is impossible to hide Hua Jinghua's face, how will the emperor protect him then? However, after struggling for a long time, he was finally defeated by the emperor's sentence "He has been my man since a long time ago".
Thinking a lot of things in his mind, He Changan seemed to finally understand why the emperor changed his mind about Jinghua so much, and let him spend the night in Zichen Palace every night. It turned out that...before he knew, Jinghua was already the emperor up.
heartache? It hurt so much that the pond he filled all day couldn't fill the big hole in his heart. If he had known this would be the end, so what if he struck first
However, now, the emperor said, sister Xian.
He Chang'an was in a mess all over, he stumbled a bit when he walked, and followed the emperor all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The door of the palace was pushed open, and a person ran out of the palace, wearing a long dress in a palace dress, with a high bun, wearing a red hairpin and jade decoration, and a flower tin was painted on his forehead.
The door closed, and the man smiled and waved to him as soon as he came up, and his voice became much softer: "Second brother."
He Changan subconsciously took a step back and stared at her blankly.
Hua Chun tugged at her skirt unaccustomedly, looked at Yu Wenjie and asked, "Is it strange?"
"Your walking posture is a bit strange." The emperor curled his lips: "Other places are fine."
His face flushed, Hua Chun gritted his teeth and glared at him, then looked at He Chang'an: "Second brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you for so long."
The chest is high, the waist is slender, and the collarbone exposed is small and delicate. This is not the man who makes people feel weak, but he is clearly a real girl!
"You..." With a sore throat, He Changan forced a smile: "Is it really a woman?"
"The reason is a long story, but I am a woman, don't worry, there is no threat now." Hua Chun looked at him sincerely and said: "Because of some reasons, I couldn't tell the truth before, now I apologize to you , we may have sworn brothers and sisters, not brothers."
After staring at her in a daze, He Changan turned around and asked the emperor, "You already knew?"
"Yeah." The emperor nodded: "I see that she has contributed to the community, so I forgive her sin."
And act first, and made an exclusive collection.
He Changan frowned and closed his eyes.
"Second brother, is your body not feeling well?" Seeing his expression, Hua Chun moved closer, reached out and touched his forehead: "Sure enough, I have a fever!"
Someone pulled her wrist, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized her current identity, put her hand on the emperor's forehead obediently, pretended nothing happened, and said with a frown: "The temperature of the emperor is normal. Brother really has a fever, send it to the imperial doctor!"
"From now on, you can only call him Marquis." The emperor said with deep eyes, displeased: "Forget everything about the past."
