Dahan first prince

Chapter 372 Sister, help me?

"Xuanping Hou Chenao, see Your Majesty~"

When Liu Ying and Zhang Yan arrived outside Xuanpinghou's mansion in Shangguanli by chariot, Zhang Ao, the head of the state, was already waiting outside the main gate.

Seeing Liu Ying stepping down from the imperial chariot first, Zhang Ao hurried forward and bowed respectfully.

Seeing Zhang Yan's figure appearing behind Liu Ying, Zhang Ao's brows were filled with gentleness and tenderness.

"Meet the Queen..."

"Eh~"

"Xuan Pinghou, why is this necessary?"

Before Zhang Ao could say his obeisance, Liu Ying stepped forward with a smile and helped Zhang Ao up.

"It's not in the palace, and there are no outsiders, so why pay attention to such vain etiquette?"

After saying that, Liu Ying turned around with a smile, nodded slightly to the smiling queen Zhang Yan behind her, and then walked into the gate of the mansion by herself.

And behind Liu Ying, Zhang Ao finally seized the opportunity, stepped aside from Zhang Yan, and told his thoughts.

After a while, Liu Ying had entered the mansion and was outside the bedroom of her sister Liu Le;

Seeing her rosy-faced elder sister Liu Le walking out of the bedroom and saluting herself with a slightly stiff face, the smile on Liu Ying's face froze for a while.

She laughed awkwardly, and when Zhang Ao and Zhang Yan's father and daughter also followed up, Liu Ying regained her expression and gave Liu Le a little smile.

"Wearing that the eldest sister is lying on the couch, Ji is quite uneasy;"

"It just happened to be ignored today, and I took the queen with me to visit..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Le's expression became more and more rigid. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Liu Ying.

In the end, it was Zhang Aozhan who was from Zhang Aozhan, and led Zhang Yan to the living room on the grounds that he hadn't talked to the queen for a long time;

But Liu Ying was introduced into the side hall next to the bedroom by her sister Liu Le who was "sick and bedridden"...
·
Sitting opposite each other on the east and west guest seats, and staring at each other silently for a long time, a self-deprecating look gradually appeared on Liu Ying's brow.

Liu Ying understood why her sister Liu Le was "sick and lying on the couch" today when she brought Zhang Yan to the door, and why she lowered her head with a stiff face at this moment, unable to say a word.

——In the final analysis, it is still the relationship between the siblings, which really makes people wonder how to deal with it.

Logically speaking, Liu Le and Liu Ying, both siblings, were descendants of the former emperor Liu Bang and the current queen mother Lv Zhi.

In the past few years, the two have always gotten along with each other in a sister-brother relationship. Although they can't say how close they are, they are still quite relaxed after all.

But now, in addition to the 'sister-brother' blood relationship, the two have an additional layer of 'father-in-law' in-law relationship, and the two layers of relationship are still different generations!

Coupled with a "monarch-minister" relationship, it also makes the relationship between the two people feel a little bit of constant cutting and chaos...

According to the sister-brother relationship, Liu Le is the elder sister and Liu Ying is the younger brother, so they should be sister friends and younger brother Gong;
According to the relationship between the ruler and the minister, Liu Ying is the ruler and Liu Le is the minister, which means that the ruler is benevolent and the minister is loyal;
With these two layers of inverted status, the relationship between the two is already somewhat difficult to handle, but it can always be resolved in front of the way of "discussing the monarch and his ministers outside, and discussing the elder sisters inside".

After all, within the royal family, especially in today's situation where the emperor is young, similar inversions of status are not common.

For example, Liu Jiao, king of Chu, is Liu Ying's uncle in terms of blood relationship;

Qi Wang Liu Fei is Liu Ying's elder brother.

For these people, Liu Ying can always handle them properly with the tacit understanding of 'I call you uncle/brother, you call me Your Majesty'.

——After all, Liu Jiao and Liu Fei didn't dare to take Liu Ying's uncle/brother seriously.

But the relationship between Liu Ying and Liu Le is based on this basis, and the status of the family is upside down again, and the relationship with the "sister-brother" is different from the "father-in-law" relationship...

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by how to talk about it externally, how to say it internally, or 'each theory'.

Take a very simple example.

In the past, Liu Le and Liu Ying were not only siblings, but also monarchs and ministers;
In this case, the relationship between the two can be discussed according to the occasion.

In private, or in front of family members, especially in front of the Queen Mother Lu Zhi, the two of them can completely get along as you call brother and I call sister, and enjoy harmony and harmony in the family;

When it's a formal occasion, or when there are outsiders around, if Liu Le calls Liu Ying "Your Majesty" again when he is wronged, Liu Ying immediately puts on a gesture of "what did my sister say?" No one can pick her Something went wrong.

But after adding a layer of 'husband-son-law' relationship, even the method of separate occasions can no longer solve the problem.

——In private, should Liu Ying be called sister Liu Le, or mother-in-law, or even mother?

In public, should Liu Ying put on the emperor's airs, or pose as a son-in-law?
What's more, in private when only the two of them were present, what kind of address should Liu Ying use to express her attitude towards Liu Le and maintain the family relationship between herself and Liu Le?
Obviously, this is not just a title, or a matter of etiquette and order;

But it seems to have involved human relations!
——This sister is not a sister, and the mother-in-law is not the mother-in-law, so what's the matter...

To put it bluntly, regarding the relationship between the two, not only Liu Le didn't know how to deal with himself, but even Liu Ying was quite distressed.

But even so, Liu Ying still boarded the gate of Xuanpinghou Mansion today.

Because Liu Ying knew that this matter could only and must be taken up by herself.

If Liu Ying doesn't take the initiative to stand up and straighten out the twists and turns, there will be no one in the world who can clarify the complicated relationship between the siblings...
"Sister."

A deep whisper set the tone for the relationship between the two. Liu Ying looked at Liu Le with a serious look.

Seeing this, Liu Le felt sorry, so he turned his head and looked at the maid beside him.

After a while, in the side hall, only Liu Le and Liu Ying were left sitting facing each other. The embarrassment between Liu Le's brows was gradually replaced by a touch of determination.

However, what surprised Liu Ying was that it was Liu Le who spoke first...
"Your Majesty's grand marriage to marry Zhang's daughter is the queen mother's decision."

"Here, is Your Majesty willing to do so?"

After speaking indifferently, Liu Le frowned immediately, but when he looked at Liu Ying, he immediately dodged a little.

When he asked this question, Liu Le had mixed feelings in his heart.

Once upon a time, Liu Le was the eldest sister of the former emperor Liu Bang's sons, and she was the elder sister respected by the current King Liu Fei of Qi, Liu Ruyi, King Huainan, and the emperor Liu Ying in front of him, like a father and a mother.

Especially Liu Ying, as Liu Le's only brother with a single mother, the relationship between Liu Le and Liu Le is far from being dispelled by the title of "Your Majesty".

——In the second year of the Han Dynasty, during the battle of Pengcheng between Chu and Han, the former emperor Liu Bang, who was then the king of Han, was defeated miserably, and the army of more than [-] fell apart!

But everyone in the world only knows that on the way to escape, the former emperor Liu Bang kicked the current Liu Ying off the carriage more than once, but they didn't know that Liu Le, the eldest princess of the dynasty, was kicked off the carriage at the same time;
At that time, Liu Ying was only five years old, but Liu Le was already 13 years old.

For that incident back then, Liu Ying may only have some remnants of memory, but for Liu Le, that incident is a pain that will never be forgotten in his life.

Liu Le still clearly remembers how ruthless and decisive his father was when he kicked him off the carriage;
Even when the younger brother Liu Ying fell off the carriage, she still did not forget to protect herself with her body.

Liu Le later asked Liu Ying: Why did you do this?

The answer given by Liu Ying is: with father and mother, even if Ji is disabled, he can always be rich and honored for life;
But my sister is a daughter, if she breaks her body, it will be difficult to marry in the future...

Since then, in Liu Le's heart, there is no longer a father named 'Liu Bang', but there is a younger brother who is obviously younger than him, but makes him feel warm and at ease all the time.

Later, his father Liu Bang wanted to marry himself to the Huns, but fortunately he failed in the end;
Soon after, Zhang Ao, the second king of Zhao, who had not yet been demoted to Xuanpinghou, became the man Liu Le hit.

Every time Liu Le thinks of these things, he can't stop those warm pictures from appearing in his mind like a revolving lantern.

——When the first emperor Liu Bang wanted to marry Liu Le to the Huns, the world only saw the queen Lu Zhi furious, posing as a hen with fried feathers, spreading her wings, and protecting Liu Le behind her!
But no one noticed that by Liu Le's side, the eight-year-old Crown Prince Liu Ying had already bared her teeth for her sister Liu Le, and had prepared a letter. A book of satire that may not help...  
When Liu Le married Zhang Ao and became the queen of Zhao, everyone in the world only saw the former emperor Liu Bang swearing, and the queen Lu Zhi wept with joy, but did not notice that the eight-year-old crown prince Liu Ying sent someone to Zhao Wang Zhang Ao With great courtesy, Zhang Ao was asked to 'be kind to the lonely sister'.

And when Zhang Ao was suspected of 'rebellion', was deprived of the title of King Zhao, and demoted to Xuanpinghou, in the entire Chang'an court, they avoided this family for fear of not being timely, and it was the prince Liu Ying who stood up and was extremely happy Said: Sister can live in Chang'an for a long time, it is a good thing, it is a good thing...
Thinking of this, Liu Le's face was stained with tears;

Recalling all the past events, and just now, when Liu Ying looked at him with a lingering embarrassment, Liu Le only felt that he was not worthy of a younger brother like Liu Ying at all. ······

And sitting opposite Liu Le, seeing her sister's increasingly self-blaming face, Liu Ying finally let go of the awkwardness in her heart, and let out a long sigh full of regret.

"Sis, if you ask bluntly, Ji, you can't hide it anymore."

After saying a word in a low tone, Liu Ying smiled wryly and shook her head, then looked up at Liu Le solemnly.

"Although Yan'er was not born to my sister, she is also her concubine's daughter; she also lost her mother when she was young, and was raised under her knee."

"Yu Yan'er's temperament, Ji, has absolutely nothing to worry about."

"Besides, in the past, the father treated my elder sister very poorly, and used Yan'er to enter the main pepper room. This is also the mother's intention to use this to make up for my elder sister."

As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn't help but stop talking for a while, and sighed again with mixed feelings.

"This is also the meaning of Ji..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Le felt that the tendency of tears to flow out of his eyes suddenly became more violent, causing Liu Le to quickly cover the bottom of his mouth with his hand, bowed his head and sobbed.

But Liu Ying smiled gently, got up from her seat, and sat in front of Liu Le across the table.

"Sister, don't worry."

"Yu Yan'er, Ji Xin is very happy; marrying her as a wife is also Ji's wish."

"What's more, this is a matter of getting closer and closer, so that my sister Ji can get closer, Ji can get what she wants, and the mother and queen can make up for her sister, so that she can feel at ease."

"So in the future, sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, just wait for Ji as before, and Ji will not be very happy..."

Hearing Liu Ying's gentle voice of persuasion, Liu Le was still in a state of grief and couldn't extricate himself. He covered his mouth and shook his head, his face full of self-blame.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ying finally smiled helplessly, and immediately pretended to get up, assuming that she was going to give a big gift and fail badly.

"If my sister doesn't want to make Ji like this, Ji will pay a respectful visit to say hello to my grandmother..."

"No!"

After being so excited by Liu Ying, Liu Le finally raised his head with a hum, said "No", and jumped up from his seat like a spring!

At a loss, she stood up and was about to step forward to help her up, but when she saw Liu Ying looking at her with a playful look on her face, Lu Yuan Princess Liu Le finally broke through her tears and smiled.

"laugh!"

"I'm already an indomitable husband, what's more..."

In the middle of the sentence, the word "caress" was stuck on Liu Le's mouth like a lock, and he couldn't say it for a long time.

But the embarrassment between the two siblings dissipated in this magnificent side hall with Liu Le's sneer...
"It's a kiss, so let's speak bluntly?"

"But Yan'er was crying all day long in the palace, which made the royal chariot go north to Sima, and even Shangguanli?"

Hearing Liu Le's arrogant tone, with a slightly teasing tone, Liu Ying only breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

When Liu Le took the initiative to ask again, Liu Ying simply stopped beating around the bush, and hurriedly lifted Liu Le's arm, smiled and sent Liu Le to the top position, and knelt down peacefully.

"As the saying goes: the parents who gave birth to me know me better than my elder sister!"

"Come on, sister, drink tea, drink tea..."

He helped Liu Le to his position in a casual and flattering manner, and handed the tea bowl to Liu Le in a flattering manner. Then Liu Ying imitated the "self" appearance in her memory and giggled at Liu Le .

"Sister."

"There is one thing, Ji, but there is really no other way, only Sister Lao can solve this problem..."

The words pretending to be distressed, not surprisingly, caused Liu Le to shake his head and chuckle, and Liu Ying smiled in tandem, and finally put the purpose of her visit today in front of her sister Liu Le.

"Sister."

"A few days ago, my mother summoned Ji to Changle. In her words, Yu Ji Ke was quite 'dissatisfied'..."

"My mother said that the eldest son of the emperor is getting older, and the pepper house has been established; if the pepper house is left alone for a long time, it will inevitably lead to controversy, and even shake the country..."

Seeing Liu Ying saying this with a gloomy expression, Liu Le couldn't help but abstain from the playful look on his face, murmured thoughtfully for a moment, and then raised his head with a little hesitation.

"According to His Majesty's wishes..."

"How about this matter?"

But when Liu Ying heard the words, she hurriedly sat down beside Liu Le, with a trace of urgency on her brows!

"Ji Yuyi: The eldest son of the emperor has no mother and is still young, why not let my sister enter the palace to speak, in order to persuade the mother to grant permission to succeed the eldest son of the emperor at Yan'er's knees!"

"It's not too late to find the 'result' of the pepper house when the country is a little more secure and Yan'er is a little older?"

Saying these words sincerely, and seeing the hesitation between Liu Le's brows, Liu Ying became anxious, and even slapped her thigh involuntarily.

"Ugh!"

"Sister!"

"Yan'er, you are only nine years old!!!"

"Ji Zong is a savage beast, but he can't..."

"It's not like this place!!!!!!"
