Anxiously followed and walked out, along the way he was wondering if there was any way to remedy it.
Just as he was about to get into the carriage, the emperor suddenly extended his hand to Ling Niang: "Come with me."
Everyone was shocked, and Ling Niang was even more delighted. After thanking her again and again, she grabbed the emperor's hand and entered the carriage.
The corners of Hua Chun's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the light in Yu Wenjie's eyes, he felt a little aggrieved for no reason.
Kill her and never sleep with this person again!
Well, this is a bit ambiguous, but that's what it means anyway. Although she didn't know why she had such an idea suddenly, she was very firm. She might be a little angry, but she didn't know what she was angry about.
After getting into his sedan chair, Hua Chun followed the carriage into the palace.
The emperor and Ling Niang were probably chatting and laughing in the car, so when they got off the car, Ling Niang dared to stand beside the emperor with confidence and boldness, her eyes were full of affection, as if she was about to fall into it. The pink bubbles all around are flying all over the sky like a special effect of five hairs.
"Be careful." The emperor also gently instructed her.
Hua Chun followed behind with rolling eyes. The floor in the palace is covered with flat white and blue bricks, could it be that she can still fall on the flat ground
"Prime Minister."
"The minister is here."
Yu Wenjie turned his head, looked at her and said, "Take Ling Niang to the harem, I still have something to say to the Xixia envoy."
"The minister obeys the order."
It is because she has the qualifications to enter and leave the harem given by the queen mother, there is no hesitation in arranging this kind of thing for her! Even Eunuch Qin next to him couldn't bear to look at her any longer, he hesitated to speak a few times, but he still could only look at her sympathetically.
Sighing, Hua Chun resigned to his fate and took Ling Niang to the harem, followed by a little eunuch at least, and told her, "The Wanbao Palace is vacant."
"En." Hua Chun nodded: "Then go there."
Ling Niang was very excited along the way, and asked her in a low voice: "Prime Minister, does the Emperor like to watch dancing?"
"right."
"What else do you like?"
After a pause, Hua Chun looked back at her and asked curiously: "Didn't you admire me for a long time? Didn't you change so quickly?"
The smile froze, and Ling Niang said with some embarrassment: "Compared to the prime minister, the servants still prefer a man like the emperor who is so heroic and aggressive."
what does it mean? Hua Chun was unhappy, and looked at her with a frown: "You mean I don't have a heroic spirit?"
Ling Niang lowered her head and whispered, "Prime Minister is too delicate, more suitable for Xiaojia Biyu's girl."
This is really straightforward! With a cold snort, Hua Chun acted angrily, and said to the eunuch next to him: "Please take this girl with you, father-in-law. I have something to do, so I will excuse you."
"... yes." The little eunuch next to him agreed.
Ling Niang looked at Hua Chun's back in a panic, frowned and asked, "Did I make the prime minister angry?"
Do you need to ask such an obvious thing? The little eunuch sighed and led her forward.
Hua Chun turned around and wanted to run out of the palace, but Eunuch Qin landed in front of her from the sky as if he had wings, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, please."
Curling her lips, she resigned to her fate and went to Zichen Hall.
The emperor and his envoys were talking in the front hall, and Eunuch Qin took her in through the back door and waited behind the tall screen.
"About the matter of the gold mine, I would like to ask the emperor to think twice." Yang Yuanchen's voice trembled, and he said sadly: "I have no right to make the decision to contribute to the gold mine. Please wait for the king of Xixia's reply."
"Xixia and Daliang have always been friendly states. I don't think the king of Xixia will refuse such a small condition."
From where can you see that people will not refuse! Yang Yuanchen really wanted to roar, but the emperor's aura was too strong, he didn't dare to say a word, he could only say cautiously: "The ministers can only answer the question about the emperor's gold mine after the king gives a reply. During this time , let Ling Niang take good care of you."
The emperor fell silent.
Hua Chun rolled his eyes, he had never seen such an unsteady emperor! How confident he was when he ordered her to ask for a gold mine, but now that they gave him a beauty, he just relaxed the boundaries.
Hua Jinghua is also a beauty! Are you blind!
This is not the point, the point is that if the gold mine is really gone, is it her fault or the emperor himself
"If Ling Niang can serve me well, it will be easy to say a lot." The emperor spoke again with a calm tone, and what he said was really shameless.
Yang Yuanchen smiled immediately: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Ling Niang is a clean girl, and she has learned a lot, so she will definitely satisfy the Emperor."
The emperor nodded: "I am not as strict as the prime minister, and I will intercede with the prime minister later, and let you relax a bit on the matter of tribute."
From the screen behind the dragon chair came a sound like a cat's paws being scratched.
Yu Wenjie slightly curled his lips, and said, "The envoy should go back and rest first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Yuanchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated all the way, seeing the people coming up beside him, he couldn't help but smile.
"My lord, how is it?" Several people surrounded him and asked him.
"The emperor looks serious and ruthless, but he is actually lustful and easy to deal with." Yang Yuanchen said, "It's just that Prime Minister Hua, who is upright and not good at anything, the emperor will be afraid of him. Now it's alright, let's With a bargaining chip like Ling Niang, it might not be difficult to get out of the way."
Everyone sighed that it was great, and then someone asked in a low voice: "When will it become so embarrassing to pay tribute?"
It's not because of that Hua Jinghua! Yang Yuanchen pursed his lips.
It would be nice if this could end safely. If not, the rabbit will bite people in a hurry!
"Come out." The emperor called out lightly.
Hua Chun came out from behind with a serious face, knelt down in front of him, and said nothing.
"What's the Prime Minister's opinion on my decision just now?" Yu Wenjie asked.
Hua Chun said without raising her head, "Your Majesty, as long as you are happy."
This...why does it sound weird? Yu Wenjie pursed his lips, looked down at her and said, "What's your dissatisfaction?"
"I'm not dissatisfied with the decision made by the emperor." Hua Chun said: "It's just that if one woman in the harem can be compared to eight gold mines, I think the emperor's harem is really the most valuable thing in the world."
How good it is to donate to the disaster area!
With the light in his eyes, the emperor stood up and stepped off the dragon chair, saying: "After returning with me, your highness will play chess for a while."
"Your Majesty, can't you play backgammon?"
"Five sons in a row?" Yu Wenjie paused, then turned to look at her: "Since when did Prime Minister Hua like playing with such a simple thing?"
"It's better to be simple." Hua Chun sighed deeply. However, the actual situation is - she can play Go with a ball, and she has to go through the gang in one hit! Even if the emperor has a good psychological quality and can accept the fact that she is a woman, is it possible that he can accept that she is not Hua Jinghua but a modern ghost
It will really be forked out and burned.
The emperor nodded in agreement, and took her to sit down on the soft couch in the apse, holding a few white balls in his hands, but his eyes fell on her face.
Hua Chun pretended not to see it, and made arrangements.
Obviously, she was angry. Although she didn't say anything, the emperor felt that this face was much prettier than the usual smiling one.
"Prime Minister, what do you think of Ling Niang?" Yu Wenjie asked while his subordinates were casually moving the chess pieces.
Hua Chun said: "The appearance is excellent, and the dancing posture is very good."
It turned out to be such a pertinent evaluation? The emperor was surprised: "It's gone?"
"No, the other ministers don't know much about it."
Yu Wenjie looked at her: "I think you seem to dislike her very much, and thought you would say something bad, but unexpectedly it was a compliment."
"It's not a compliment, it's just a fact." Hua Chun pouted: "There are so many things that I don't like in this world. If the emperor wants to listen to the evaluation, naturally he still has to give it a pertinent evaluation. Personal evaluations will only degrade the minister. The credibility of your own words."
true wisdom. Yu Wenjie nodded: "It is indeed my blessing to have a prime minister like you."
Hua Chun glanced at him and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to praise me. Ling Niang is right, but the Emperor gave up so many things for her. I still feel that the Emperor is out of consideration and doesn't support it."
After a pause, Yu Wenjie asked her in a strange tone: "In the prime minister's mind, what kind of person am I?"
Hua Chun glanced at Eunuch Qin next to him, and asked him with a smile: "Does the Emperor want to listen to the truth?"
The emperor was silent, and waved his hand to make the palace people around him retreat. After the gate was closed, he said, "Speak."
"It's cold on the outside and hot on the inside. The emperor looks serious and scary, but he should be very warm inside." Hua Chun said seriously.
Heartstrings twitched slightly, Yu Wenjie raised his head, there was sparkle in his eyes, and he was about to say something, when she heard her next words:
"Especially with women."
Yu Wenjie: "..."
"The emperor's harem is full of colorful flowers. I really want to know, does the emperor remember the names of each master?"
The emperor shook his head without hesitation.
There are only a few high-ranking people, but Zhaoyi's concubine has a large number of them. Every time the cards are turned over, they rely on picking the number they like. Whose name can he be expected to remember
"Forgive me to speak bluntly." Hua Chun said: "Every woman who enters the palace wants to live a happy life. There are so many of them, and it is really pitiful to be favored by the emperor alone. If the emperor doesn't really like it, then Why bring them into the palace?"
Slightly displeased, Yu Wenjie said: "I have my own ideas, the affairs of the harem should not be meddled by the prime minister."
That's right, Hua Chun nodded, what was she worrying about, anyway, the harem belonged to him, and so did Jiangshan, she was at most a wage worker, and it was not her responsibility that people didn't listen to all the good things she said.
So she chose to remain silent.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a moment, the emperor frowned, looked at her twice, and the four sons sealed the victory in succession.
Hua Chun clapped his hands and said, "I want to leave the palace."
"Two more rounds." The emperor said: "There are not many things to do today, so it's rare to have free time."
Hua Chun curled her lips: "It is because I have free time that I should go boating with my second brother. What I promised for a long time has been delayed until now."
Upon hearing this, the emperor was not happy: "How did you promise me last time?"
"What?"
"No collusion with other people."
"..." Hua Chun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at the emperor for a long time, and then calmed down and said: "The emperor was also present at the marriage ceremony, does this count as collusion?"
"Being with someone other than me is considered collusion." The emperor said: "Even if you are sworn brothers."
Is it unreasonable? Hua Chun was a little annoyed, looked at him and said: "Although the emperor is the lord of the people and the master of Liang, you can't let the ministers only hang around you, right? The ministers also have family members and friends. If you say you will be loyal to your majesty, you will definitely do so." If it is done, why does His Majesty distrust this humble minister so much?"
Yu Wenjie was silent.
Isn't his serious face not suitable for joking? So much so that he thought he was humorous, and she got angry.
It was too late to explain now, and he couldn't get rid of his face, so he could only shut up and look down at the chessboard.
Standing up, Hua Chun bowed to him: "I'm leaving."
"You haven't won yet," said the emperor.
"Oh." She nodded, stood up and placed five pieces on the chessboard in a straight line: "That's good."
Emperor: "..."
The person in front of him turned around and left with a temper, completely ignoring him as the emperor. Yu Wenjie propped his chin and couldn't help but reflect for a while.
Was it because he acted so gentle that she was no longer afraid, or was she really angry today, so angry that she didn't even care about him
As if the latter might make him happier.
"Zi Chong."
Someone came in from outside the door in response: "What is your majesty's order?"
"Protect the prime minister."
"Humble job understands."
After exiting the Zichen Palace, Huo Zichong felt that Prime Minister Hua was really not easy. He had to be watched by the emperor for everything he did, and he reported on time. Even the time to go to the toilet was not a secret.
Alas, if only the emperor could care so much about any empress in the harem.
The weather was gloomy and the sun was not bright, Hua Chun was invited to the boat with a dark face.
He Changan was dressed in white and blue brocade gown, and looked at her with a smile: "Still worrying about the emperor's affairs?"
Can you not worry? Hua Chun curled her lips: "I'm very worried that one day the emperor will want beauties instead of Jiangshan."
Slightly taken aback, He Changan laughed: "No."
Yu Wenjie, that person, just seems to be greedy for beauty.
"Second brother doesn't know what happened just now, that's why he's so confident." Hua Chun leaned on the railing, and said helplessly, "For the sake of the Xixia dancer, he didn't even want the gold mine. Change it tomorrow. It's beautiful, it's inevitable that he wants to take people to hide in the mountains."
"The emperor is not as stupid as you think." He Changan whispered: "He always has his own purpose in doing things."
What purpose can it have? What special purpose can a man have for a woman
The unhappiness in my heart was caused by big waves hitting the shore. Hua Chun didn't realize that his IQ was offline for a while, but he really cared about one thing.
That is, he hugged himself to sleep and made himself feel at ease, but the result was the same for everyone. This feeling is like when you receive a flower and think it is very beautiful, but when you go out and see the clumps growing on the side of the road.
Stuffed!
"Let's not talk about that, let's just look at the scenery." After a long breath, Hua Chun said, "This place is really beautiful."
"Well." He Changan said: "I wanted to take you to see it in the morning. This place is called Shuiyue Lake. It is even more beautiful at night, and it is easy to relax. When you are under too much pressure, you can come and see it."
Looking at the mountains in the distance, she really felt a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but smiled at He Changan.
This smile reflected the scenery of the lake and mountains, which made He Chang'an slightly absent-minded, and the strange feeling in his heart was even stronger.
"If my virtuous brother wears women's clothing, I don't know how stunning it will be." He said: "Even if the emperor's harem is three thousand, it may not be as beautiful as you alone."
Hua Chun was taken aback, and lowered his eyes: "Unfortunately, I'm not a woman."
"Don't be angry, I don't have any other intentions." He Changan said quickly, "It's just a feeling."
"I know." Hua Chun shrugged: "Some things can really be regretted for a lifetime."
These words made He Changan's heart tremble, and the strange feeling became even stronger. When his eyes touched Hua Jinghua's face, he seemed to understand what he was thinking for a moment.
It is possible that he fell in love with a man.
This feeling has been there for a long time, maybe it started when this person was next on the beam of the house, or when they swore to each other. No matter where it came from, it has quietly become so rich now, so rich that he can't even lie to himself that it's brotherhood.
Hua Jinghua is a man, this incident will really make him regret for the rest of his life.
Forced to smile, He Chang installed as nothing happened, and continued to relax with the people around him.
For the next two days, He Changan was a little absent-minded.
Yu Wenjie quickly sensed that something was wrong with him, and brought him to Zichen Hall and asked, "What's wrong?"
He Changan raised his head, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and the emperor was taken aback.
People who grew up together have a tacit understanding with each other. Without him having to speak, Yu Wenjie could think of what was going on. However, he didn't want to tell the truth.
"The minister may be going astray." He Changan curled his lips: "Does the emperor have any good suggestions?"
The emperor turned his eyes away, and said indifferently: "Before you go astray completely, find someone to marry."
"Who are you looking for?"
"The Hua family has a younger sister." The emperor said, "It depends on whether you like it or not."
He Chang'an laughed, with bitterness in his eyes: "I'm not that shameless."
How can someone replace it? Moreover, even if she was her own sister, she didn't feel the way Hua Jinghua gave him. Since there is no such thing, he would rather stay away from Huafu.
The emperor closed his eyes and sat in front of him without saying a word.
People in relationships are all selfish, even if he knows that Hua Jinghua has a crush on He Changan, even if he knows that Hua Jinghua is actually a daughter, seeing his brother sad at this moment, he still chooses to be despicable and silent.
The kite string was in his hand and he didn't want to let go.
Hua Chun didn't know anything, only felt that he hadn't seen He Chang'an for two days, and thought he was busy.
Emperor Long favored Lingniang, although he hadn't given a position yet, but it was enough to make Xixia's envoys happy and her boss unhappy.
"Wang Feige of Xixia sent a letter to Yanjing, but was stopped by the minister." She looked at the emperor expressionlessly and said, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."
Regarding the matter of the gold mine, the king of Xixia also gave two meanings. Judging from the current situation, the emperor must have agreed, so there is nothing wrong with her.
