Chapter 487: The Son of Heaven bestows the marriage, two ladies from one mansion!(1/3)
The two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two palaces are more than a hundred feet apart.
An almost perfect replica of the Luoyang Palace of the past!
Today, the Xuducheng Imperial Palace is just like before... it is still a courtyard with a "LV" shaped structure. There is a roof-covered compound road connecting the north and south palaces, seven miles long!
The so-called compound road is three parallel roads, the middle one is the royal road dedicated to the emperor and the queen, and the two sides are the roads used by the ministers and waiters.
Every ten steps, there is a guard, standing on both sides, very powerful.
The north gate of the South Palace and the south gate of the North Palace face each other with two towers, which are exactly those ten words - "the two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two towers are more than a hundred feet apart."
now…
On the complex road connecting the Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Zhuque Gate of the North Palace, footsteps could be heard one after another. Queen Fushou and several attendants were rushing from the South Palace to the North Palace.
They were walking on a road that was not often traveled, which led to the Yongning Hall in the northeast corner of the North Palace!
Speaking of which, Nangong is the place where the emperor and his officials congratulate and discuss government affairs. The building layout is neat and orderly, and the palaces and pavilions are lined up in rows!
The main palaces in the palace are located on the north-south central axis.
From north to south they are: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, Quefei Gate, Quefei Hall, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Hall, Zhongde Hall, Qianqiu Longsui Hall and Hepingshuo Hall.
but…
At this moment, the Yongning Palace that Queen Fushou was rushing to was not in the "core" palace complex.
Yongning Hall is the palace that Emperor Ling gave to his eldest daughter, Princess Wannian, when he was in the Luoyang Palace. Liu Xue liked to be quiet, so... the late emperor gave her the quietest palace in the palace.
Even after moving to Xudu City, Liu Xue still lived in Yongning Hall.
"Tap tap tap..."
Queen Fushou's footsteps became more and more urgent. Seeing this, the palace people leaned on both sides of the complex road and bowed their heads in salute.
He waited until the queen passed by before whispering.
seem…
This is the first time that the Queen has been so uneasy.
Same...
In the past two years... this is the first time that the Queen has gone to Princess Wannian of Yongning Hall.
Faintly...many people in the palace felt that something was going to happen, but they couldn't say exactly what it was!
An hour later.
After bypassing the corridor, Queen Fushou entered the Yongning Hall. He looked around anxiously, but heard the faint sound of a piano behind the flowers and trees.
Taking a few steps forward, I saw a woman in white clothes, a white hat, and a cloak playing the piano among the flowers.
But if it’s not the Wannian Princess Liu Xue, who else could it be?
This is a song called "Gongwu Crossing the River". The rhyme is strong and violent. Fu Shou couldn't help being stunned by such a high-pitched and fierce rhythm.
And at the same time…
Liu Xue also noticed Fu Shou. She continued to play the piano with one hand and gently took off her hood with the other hand, staring at Fu Shou.
Fu Shou's sincere and expectant eyes met the sincere and sad eyes of Wannian Princess Liu Xue. Such a close distance actually made Fu Shou feel intoxicated and worried, and the air seemed to tremble slightly when he breathed.
And just then...
It seems to be due to distraction...
It seems to be for some other reason.
One of the strings in Liu Xue's hand actually broke, and Fu Shou thought it was accidental.
Who would have thought... all the strings were cut by Liu Xue. Fu Shou trembled in fright, and a piece of silk silk in his hand fell to the ground... There were clearly words on the silk silk, and the accompanying maid hurriedly went there.
Shi, Fu Shou waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Princess Wannian Liu Xue also waved her hand and told the servants and maids of Yongning Palace to step back...
"Here!"
Following the replies from the maids, only Fu Shou and Liu Xue were left in Yongning Palace.
"Tap..."
The rainbow light dissipated, the lotus steps moved lightly, and Liu Xue walked towards Fu Shou.
She was dressed in a white dress and white dress, with three thousand black hairs sliding smoothly down her shoulders, over her waist, and up to her delicate buttocks.
Her eyebrows are like a painting, her muscles are like ice and snow, and her pretty face is slightly thin, but it is perfectly contoured, making people couldn't help but secretly praise her, she is such an elegant beauty.
"Unexpectedly, His Majesty invited the Queen to come after all."
Liu Xue suddenly bowed to Fu Shou.
One is a princess and the other is a queen. This is the proper etiquette.
Fu Shou hurriedly helped her up and couldn't help but hold Liu Xue's wrist, "Sister Xue, you are the eldest princess, you cannot salute me!"
Liu Xue blinked her eyes, then lowered her head and picked up the silk, softly chanting: "What is this?"
As she spoke, she pulled out the silk piece by piece and saw the words on it - "Please eldest sister to save the Han Dynasty from fire and water!"
call…
Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, slightly surprised, and then the expression on her cheeks softened a lot.
"Sure enough, the rumors among the Han officials are not groundless. Your Majesty... wants me to marry that Baimahou? In exchange for Your Majesty and Cao Sikong... No, to be precise, it should be in exchange for the reconciliation between Your Majesty and Prime Minister Cao, right? ?”
Although Liu Xue lives in the palace.
But she has special channels to hear some "rumors and gossips", no... to be precise, these are not rumors, this is the only choice of the Han court.
The Han Dynasty reconciled and united with the Cao family... and then set its sights on unifying the world. The Han Dynasty needed to 'marriage' with the powerful officials in Cao Ying, just like the Han Dynasty had been sending princesses (maids) out of the country for hundreds of years in exchange for Reconciliation and concession with the Huns!
Of course, wouldn't it be a good story if Zhaojun goes out of the country?
"Sister Xue...you already know, then I...I..." Fu Shou stumbled over his words.
It’s hard to imagine that...the empress, who used to have a noble temperament, looked like she was biting her lips at this moment.
"Sister Xue, you...what do you think?"
Finally, Fu Shou calmed down and asked.
"What can you think?" Liu Xue threw the handkerchief with the writing on it into the pool... "I have two younger brothers. One was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and the other became Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao's puppet. They are better than me. It will be much more difficult. As a child of the royal family, this outcome may have been doomed early in the morning."
Speaking of this, Liu Xue paused for a moment. "Ten thousand steps back, I am marrying Baima Hou, and I am not marrying a trafficker and a lackey who slaughters dogs. With his current status and reputation, Lu Ziyu, I am afraid that I will not marry him for ten thousand years." The princess has reached a high level!"
Insightful, transparent!
In the past few days, two incidents... have been discussed a lot among the senior officials of the Han Dynasty headed by the Fu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they caused an uproar.
The first is Lu Yu's request to be granted the title of "Yushi Dafu".
Everyone knows that Lu Yu's move was not about drinking, but about Cao Cao's position as "Prime Minister"!
The second is that Lu Yu marries Xiahou Juan, the noble daughter of the Xiahou family. If the Han court does not respond, or even secretly causes harm, then... the relationship between Cao Ying and the Han court will be completely extreme and irreparable!
Apart from these two things...
Han Chen was also paying close attention to the actions of the School Affairs Office, and it was obvious... the blade of the School Affairs Office was about to point at the Fu family, the head of the Han Dynasty.
This is already a critical moment for the Han court!
Therefore…
The Han court must make a decision, and the Han officials must make a decision immediately!
"Sister Xue can think like this, and I feel much more at ease..." Fu Shou groaned softly.
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
A "pop" sound...
Liu Xue smiled, the smile was very forced, and the laughter seemed to contain some mockery, a mockery of his own identity, and a mockery of Han Ting's current situation.
The song "Gong Wu Crossing the River" she just played, haha... Gong Wu Crossing the River, Gong... How to cross the river?
"Queen, I have one more thing to say here, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
Liu Xue spoke again...
"With two wives in a marquis's house, Sister Xue marries Lu Yu in a righteous way. That means she is the benefactor of the Han Dynasty. If Sister Xue has something to say, it's okay to say it! If Sister Xue has any requests, please speak up!" Fu Shou continued...
call…
Liu Xue turned around and walked slowly to the birch tree. There was a deep hatred in her heart. This was the first time she had such strong hatred for the "incompetent" Hanting.
perhaps…
This is the pain caused by the change of identity. From a ten thousand-year-old princess to... to a wife of a marquis, or two ladies of a marquis, a dignified princess of the Han Dynasty, how ridiculous it is to serve the same husband with other women?
The delicate jade hands were raised, and the cuffs looked particularly crystal clear in the sun...
Liu Xue finally blurted out her last words.
To be continued...
