The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 179
This is the first time that Miantang entered the palace after losing her memory again.
Fortunately, in these days, Mama Li made up for all kinds of court etiquette, and she was not afraid of the humiliation of the king when he entered the palace.
Mian Tang changed into the imperial palace uniform, with tall hair and a bird crown, and entered the palace gate under the leadership of the palace staff. But when she walked to the back garden, she saw a man in a jade-colored robe standing under a blooming begonia tree.
Once… in the back study yard in Yangshan, there was also such a begonia tree.
Whenever she returned from leading troops outside the mountain, the same young man in white robe stood under the tree, waiting for her with a smile behind her back.
Miantang paused, stood there and said respectfully, “Long live my concubine Liu Miantang.”
The young emperor was a little disappointed, and whispered: “I heard that you have remembered the previous things.”
Jian Miantang nodded, and he said eagerly: “If that’s the case, why are you avoiding me? Are you still misunderstanding me? Apart from you, I have never loved anyone else. Woman, as long as you are willing, I will always find a way to take you to my side.”
Mian Tang smiled slightly, but her face was not the kind of respect that a courtier’s wife would have when facing the Ninety-five Supreme, but the confident and free and easy smile on Yangshan Lu Wen’s face: “…you don’t have to. Yes, if you miss it, you will miss it. Ever since I remembered it, I have always thought about one thing. That is how Yun Niang got into your study.”
Liu Hao was forcibly injected with poison when he was young, and the fear of being dragged out of bed when he was sleeping has always haunted Liu Hao, so he carefully selected his personal bodyguards , It is not very stable when sleeping on weekdays.
So every time she entered his study, she tried to make her voice louder to remind her that she was coming, so as not to startle him.
But Yun Niang was able to quietly touch Liu Hao’s study that time, it’s quite incredible to think about it now.
Liu Hao frowned and defended, this time, he simply stopped saying “Zhen”: “She got me drunk, in fact, I didn’t do anything that time…”
Miantang didn’t want to be involved with Liu Hao in the future, so she just said it directly: “I know you didn’t do anything, you just didn’t do anything, acquiesce Yunniang to you When you have feelings, you acquiesce in her getting you drunk. You also know that I went back to the study to find you that day, and you also know that I will only leave silently after I follow my temper and know that the sisters with different surnames I worship have secrets with you… Your old men in the East Palace have come up with countless strategies to disarm me, but in fact, their ideas are not as effective as yours.”
However, deep down in her heart, she still did not want to think of the young man in white under the begonia tree so deeply.
But…this time, the serial poisonous scheme of being caught in the gully made Miantang know more about Liu Hao’s suspicious and gloomy side.
He… Maybe he really loved her back then. After all, when walking hand in hand in the sea of flowers, the sweetness and silence of the eyes are not deceiving.
However, she had too much power at that time, and her ability far surpassed everyone in Yangshan. What’s more, she would never allow him to marry the daughter of the Shi family. fear.
He does love her, but he loves a lovely woman who can help him, but not so outstanding and aggressive.
So, he forced her to give up her military power and leave Yangshan, so that he could marry the Shi family without too much guilt, so that the next recruiting became logical. He even left an opportunity for the two to reunite in the future – after all, everything was due to Yun Niang’s poisonous plan to alienate her, and he didn’t blame her at that time.
It’s a pity that Liu Hao had a thousand calculations, but he didn’t calculate that King Sui sent someone to assassinate her, nor did she calculate that she fell into water and lost her memory, so she forgot him and married someone else.
Liu Hao was silent for a while after listening to Miantang’s words.
As smart as she is, it is not surprising that she can guess what he was really thinking at the time.
It’s just that Liu Hao didn’t think he had done anything wrong, and his tone turned hard: “A man who has achieved great things, beware of the world. I am also the important task of restoring the Cui family of the royal family. Okay, do you really think that by being a bandit in Yangshan all the time, you can restore the reputation of my father and king? Even Cui Xingzhou would make this decision if he was in my position.”
Liu Miantang shook her head slowly, and said with a little regret, “I lost my mind on Kou Dao, and when he was rescued by him, I really wanted to find you again. , let you explain the misunderstanding at that time. But… later, this idea disappeared…”
Liu Hao clenched his fists when he heard this. As an emperor, he relied a lot on Cui Xingzhou. But as a man, it was always difficult for him to let go of his love.
“What did he do that made you reluctant to leave?” Liu Hao asked word by word.
Mian Tang smiled: “He didn’t do anything, he just knew that I was a gangster who couldn’t remember the love and friendship with him, but only remembered the female bandit leader who fought with him for life and death, but every day When he slept in the same bed as me, he slept deeply, defenseless like a child…”
Liu Hao’s face was gloomy, but he understood the meaning of Miantang’s words.
Even though she knew that Liu Miantang had amnesia and possessed the martial art of killing people, Cui Xingzhou never shied away from testing her.
What Liu Miantang wanted was never the golden mountains and silver seas, sitting on the rivers and mountains, but the people she loved, willing to stand by her side and give the trust of Xiangbei.
Only this one, Liu Haoji can’t afford it all his life!
Liu Hao’s face suddenly turned gray, and he watched Miantang perform the palace ceremony in a regular manner, and then walked towards the queen’s bedroom without looking back.
This time, Liu Hao knew that his Miantang, the woman who smiled sweetly at him under the begonia flower, would never come back…
Miantang came back from the palace that day and had dinner with Cui Xingzhou.
Cui Xingzhou saw that she was in a hurry to eat, and said while holding the braised elbow skin for her: “Didn’t you eat with the queen in the palace? Why are you still so hungry?”
Miantang reluctantly took a sip of the soup and said, “When I was about to enter the palace, Mama Li told me to keep in mind the rules, even if it was served with delicacies from the mountains and seas, I couldn’t eat it.”
What did you say?”
Mian Tang said: “At first, it was nothing more than comforting the deceased father, but I don’t think the queen is really sad, so I talked about something else.”
Cui Xingzhou glanced at her and asked, “Oh? What did we talk about?”
Miantang said: “The Queen asked me, this time, the lord, you have made a new contribution, and I hope you will reward me with something. I learned what you told me in advance, and bluntly told the Queen that you are a different surname. Your Highness, you have already reached the top of being favored by your courtiers. If you continue to confer rewards, I am afraid you will lose the blessings of your ancestors. For you, being a prince and a prince is not as good as returning to your hometown to serve your mother and enjoy the joy of life. Long live, I feel sorry for the merits of the prince’s many years of battle, it is better to let the prince return to his hometown and be a freelancer, if there is another crisis in the frontier, the prince will definitely re-attach the battle armor and wait for the call of Long Live.”
This is not to prevaricate the emperor and dispel his doubts, but Cui Xingzhou’s sincere words.
He also came from a foreign country step by step and ascended to Dayan Chaotang to become the minister of the humerus. But the power struggle and intrigue are really not what Cui Xingzhou loves.
So after listening to Miantang’s words, he smiled and asked, “What did the queen say?”
After Miantang ate half a bowl of rice, she became more stable, tilted her head and said, “The queen seems to not believe me, so she asked me if I would like to give up the liveliness of the capital, Go back to Zhenzhou with you. I told the queen, I have never been used to the life in the capital, especially the princes in the capital, all of them have three wives and four concubines, looking upset, and afraid that you will learn badly , it would be better to go back to Zhenzhou. The queen said that what I said was wrong as a wife. If a man wants to take a concubine, it is not easy to stop the wife.”
Miantang smiled and said: “Of course I dare not deceive the queen, I just say that I don’t have the queen’s virtue and grace, I don’t read much, and I don’t know how to write about women’s ethics. If the prince wants to take a concubine, and Ask if the sword in my hand will answer.”
Mother Li, who was serving soup on the side, heard this and couldn’t help but take a breath.
Cui Xingzhou didn’t care, he chuckled and listened.
Miantang continued: “The Empress smiled bitterly when she heard this, saying that she can’t guarantee that all the subjects in the world will not turn back, but as long as I, Liu Miantang, will be the wife of King Huaiyang for one day. , King Huaiyang must be able to enjoy the happiness of Dunlon and have no time to fight for those worldly vanities…”
Cui Xingzhou pinched Miantang’s cheek: “No manners! Dare to say anything, as if you can beat me with a sword!”
But Cui Xingzhou knew that the empress could say such a joke, in fact, it was also a reassurance for his husband and wife.
At the very least, Liu Miantang didn’t expect her husband to become the 95th Supreme Being.
The position is too high and too cold, and people will sit on it for a long time, and it will eventually change.
Liu Miantang could never allow her husband to have three wives and four concubines like Liu Hao. As smart as she is, if she has a peaceful and rich life, she will naturally not have the heart to try to force her husband to seize power without incident.
Miantang said this deliberately at that time, in fact, it was also to ask the queen to relax.
There is always some tacit understanding between two women who have always had a good relationship.
When she was in the palace today, Queen Shi listened to her words, but she smiled bitterly and was silent for a long time, and said: “These days, like porridge, it always gets thicker and thicker as it boils, but Everyone’s cooking method is different… Your method is not bad, Princess, but there are not many women in the world who can be as free and easy as you…”
When Queen Shi said this, the desolation in her eyes was not what a woman of her age should have.
