Queen Sun

Chapter 20

In the third year of Zhenguan, under the leadership of Li Shimin, the whole country began to gradually move towards the good, but in the irreversible trend, there were still many unstable factors, and even in the process of encouraging outspoken advice, some hidden worries Also like the spring under the spring water, it flickers and disappears.

In April and May, it is a good time for spring and Jingming.But His Majesty's gloomy face for several days made the spring in the palace a little slower.The people in the harem naturally couldn't figure out why, because in their eyes, since the queen returned to the palace, everything in the harem has become orderly, quiet and peaceful again.

On this day, not long after the early court time, the emperor strode angrily towards the Lizheng Hall.The people in the Lizheng Palace seemed to be familiar with the emperor's habit of seeing the queen without notification, so they just calmly saluted the noble figure and then went about their own business.

At the door of the inner room, Guangyue frowned slightly, and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still asleep, please allow this servant to wake up Your Majesty first."

The emperor resisted the urge to throw this troublesome girl out, and said impatiently: "Can you wake up the queen? Don't you sleep every day until I come back in the morning?"

Guangyue was at a loss for words, and reluctantly turned away, while complaining in her heart, for some reason, these days, the lady seems to be getting more and more lethargic, at first they were so frightened that they hurriedly called the imperial doctor, but even the imperial doctor Can't diagnose why.So now in this palace, His Majesty the Emperor is the only one who can wake up Miss.

Li Shimin lifted the curtain, stepped lightly, and walked in.Sure enough, I saw my wife wrapped in the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis, sleeping soundly.It seems that just looking at it like this, his angry mood just now has calmed down.With a tenderness on his face that he didn't even know, the emperor stretched out his hand, trying to move the quilt down a bit, for fear of being stuffy like water.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't appreciate it at all, the emperor only moved slightly, and Ruoshui murmured half awake, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands.

Seeing this, the emperor frowned, and the anger that had just been ignited seemed to have a tendency to rekindle. He simply lifted the entire quilt with his hands, and then sat quietly by the bed, looking at his wife. He closed his eyes and muttered in a daze: "Why is it a bit cold?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly smiled dangerously, took off his coat, and lay down beside his wife. Sure enough, Ruoshui felt that something was approaching, so he leaned on it.

"Ruoshui? Ruoshui?" The emperor called twice softly.

"what?"

Li Shimin was shocked, thinking that Ruoshui had already woken up, but it didn't look like it.

Slowly there was no sound again.

It turns out that he can talk when he is asleep.The emperor thought about it secretly, and asked again: "Ruoshui, I encountered a rather annoying incident in court today, do they think I'm a fool?"

Originally, the emperor didn't expect Ruoshui to say anything, but unexpectedly, a vague voice came from his ear: "The hen's morning call is not the right way, and it is also ominous for a woman to predict political affairs."

On a normal day, Li Shimin would of course be angry, but at this moment, he couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't make it too loud, lest he wake up his wife.

So, he whispered again: "I must you say it?"

I saw his wife frowning: "The concubine only knows that governing the country must be prepared for danger in times of peace, accepting talents and accepting advice, and I don't understand the rest."

The smile on the emperor's face deepened, and he thought to himself, these two sentences must be recorded in the history of the country when he goes back, I'm afraid that when Ruoshui wakes up, even she herself doesn't know what she said.

Originally, he just wanted to hold his wife and lie down for a while, but unexpectedly, perhaps because he was too busy these days, Li Shimin fell asleep along with him.

When Chengqian came back from studying at Ma Zhou's place and excitedly went to find his mother for dinner, what he saw was the picture of his parents sleeping in each other's arms.There was a sudden heat in his eyes, and then he tiptoed out, just bumping into his brother and sister who were about to go in.

He shook his head at the two of them, and said softly: "Let's go back to the table and wait, father and mother may not come out for a while."

As soon as the words were finished, Guangyue and the others standing aside had strange expressions on their faces. In the end, Mingxia couldn't help herself and asked coyly, "Your Highness, didn't you see anything?"

Cheng Qian said strangely: "I've seen everything, my father and mother are both on the bed. By the way, I wonder why no one is guarding the door."

"See everything?" The faces of the three people became even more ugly, because only His Majesty and Miss were there, so they didn't allow anyone to approach, fearing that it would be known to everyone like last time.

"That's right, both of them are sound asleep." Cheng Qian continued after taking a sip of water.

Mingxia seemed to be choking, and coughed suddenly, and the other two also looked embarrassed, it turned out that they were really just sleeping.

Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, Ruoshui was dragged out by the emperor, with some reluctance on his face.

The family was eating lunch, Mingyao suddenly asked: "Mother, do you still want to sleep today?"

Ruoshui woke up a little bit, and got up to deal with her daughter's words: "Yeah, I always feel like I don't get enough sleep." Then, seeing the worried faces of the two sons, "It's actually nothing. When I'm awake, my body seems to be stronger than before. It's even better." She said reassuringly.

Li Shimin also laughed and said, "Yes, your mother looks like a queen when she is asleep."

For a moment, several children stared at their father curiously, Ruoshui pretended to be indifferent and just ate, she knew what she seemed to have said today, but it didn't seem to be said by herself. Something unspeakably weird.

After listening to the emperor's narration, everyone at the table laughed, only Ruoshui was slightly stunned, staring at the chopsticks in his hand thoughtfully, until he felt that the man beside him was looking at him, so he raised his head and looked at him slightly. Dai Wei asked: "Why did the second brother come to me so early today?"

Before the words fell, the emperor snorted coldly, but he still didn't speak.Cheng Qian on the side showed a look of embarrassment, and finally couldn't resist Ruo Shui's gaze, and said softly: "This morning, father received a letter, a Chang'an County man named Huo Xingbin slandered Wei Zhengwei for participating in the rebellion, after father read it, He said on the spot that there is no reason for this remark, there is no need to ask, Huo Xingbin should be convicted by the Secretary."

Ruoshui listened quietly, without much reaction, and started drinking soup again.

But the emperor didn't pick up the chopsticks that had just been dropped, and said coldly: "Chengqian, what do you think should be done with this person?"

"According to the law, all false accusations of treason and treason will be executed..."

Before Chengqian finished speaking, Ruoshui said, "Is it so urgent for a meal?"

Li Shimin was slightly surprised, and then there was a smile on his face again: "Yes, your mother is right, just eat when you are eating."

After the meal, the two emperors and empresses sat face to face in the inner room, with a game of chess on the desk, Ruoshui just dropped a piece, saw that the emperor was thinking, so he said lightly: "Who did your majesty do that for in the morning?" ?”

The emperor glanced at his wife, but did not correct her address as in the past, twisting a black spot in his hand: "Why don't you make a guess, Queen?"

"Huo Xingbin is just a commoner, even if he sued Wei Zheng, how could he make you so angry? But before, my brother mentioned to me that Chen Shihe sued Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, saying that they formed a clique for personal gain, and you Talked about it. Is Your Majesty planning to kill Huo for Chen to see?"

Li Shimin chuckled and didn't answer, but said: "The empress has made up her mind, why don't you settle?" After speaking, he tapped his fingers a few times, with a very leisurely look on his face.

Ruoshui was not in a hurry, and took a sip of tea slowly. Just now, he picked out a white ball from the box, rubbed it between his fingers, and said after a long time: "He clearly said that Fang and Du formed a party for personal gain, but The implication is that there is a brother, right?"

The emperor smiled with a bit of cruelty: "There was a group of people before, who were punished by me once in the past six months, but they appeared again this time. Chen Shihe is a little clever, and he didn't mention Wuji and the eldest grandson's family at all, but Does he think that I can't see it?"

Ruoshui sighed, put the chess piece on it casually, and said indifferently: "The eldest grandson's family, but there are only my elder brother and I, why is your majesty doing this?"

"Why bother?" The emperor didn't even lift his head, but the tone in his tone was a promise from the emperor, "I just want everyone in the world to know that the two people standing at the top of the world are me and the empress, that's all. "

For a split second, Ruoshui was stunned, and a trace of inexplicable smell came to his heart.But she couldn't say anything, and didn't know what to say, so she could only finish playing chess quietly, and the afternoon passed like this.
