Chapter 328 This moment, that moment
The Liu family seemed to have lost their direction in an instant, and the secret TT did not affect the prosperity and excitement of the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Just after the year, the pace of spring came quietly.
The selection of beautiful women originally scheduled for this year was quietly cancelled by Emperor Zhou taking the country as the basis and not paying attention to women's sex. In fact, everyone knew that Emperor Zhou did not pay attention to women's sex, and his harem was even more empty, so he could only talk about a few concubines.
Since Empress Shuhuan's death, Emperor Zhou has never had the intention to enthrone a concubine again. Although some court officials also requested His Majesty to enthrone the queen again, they were all rejected by Emperor Zhou for various reasons.
As usual, everyone knew that this time, the selection was just to choose some beauties for the royal family to spread their branches and leaves.
However, first the second prince had some accidents, and then the prince made such a thing, which was accused of rebellion. Shao Shuhuan was already the most legal prince recognized by everyone, but he lacked an open identity after all.
Moreover, Shao Shuhuan has a very high vision and ordinary women don’t even look down on him.
Therefore, the selection was cancelled, which made some officials and families who were preparing to send their daughters to the selection, disappointed.
But Zheng Wen of the Ministry of Rites still started busy without feet. Last autumn trial was delayed until the spring of this year because he was on a mission to Nanxia. Countless students studying hard in the camp rushed into the capital, but they could not be delayed.
The capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom was very lively for a while.
Emperor Zhou was used to being a hand-off manager. In the past, Shao She was in charge of the overall situation. Now Shao She was ill in Qingyao Villa, and he was deliberately trying to train Shao Shuhuan, so he threw many things to him.
While busy with government affairs, Shao Shuhuan secretly searched for the whereabouts of the prince. If he couldn't find the prince for a day, he would be in peace for a day.
In addition, he was also informed of the latest news in Mizhou. The fake became true. Liu Qinghou was indeed defeated.
However, Liu Qinghou retreated to Mizhou and the Western Barbarians had now become a deadlock. He then confronted several times, but each had his own victory or defeat. The current situation is still stable. But it is also difficult to win and return in a short while.
After reading the last memorial, Shao Shuhuan leaned on the chair and sighed a long time. He took the tea cup next to him and took a sip. The tea was already a little cold. Today, the little eunuch who was serving the ground was a little lazy. He laughed in his heart. However, he didn't care about these...
Moreover, he was in a good mood today. Of course, he would not care about these trivial matters.
The weather outside was good and it was still early. Shao Shuhuan stood up and prepared to go out for a walk. Speaking of which, he had not yet visited the scenery of Qingyao Villa.
"Your Highness is going out?" Wang Tai asked with a smile at the door.
"No, just walk around the garden, you don't have to follow." Shao Shuhuan said as he walked out.
Wang Tai smiled embarrassedly. He remembered the painful experience on New Year's Eve. If Shao Shuhuan had a few things outside, I was afraid that no one of the servants who served Qingyao's other courtyard would want to survive.
Shao Shuhuan had just walked out of the Swallow Dock and walked along the lakeside. He saw the willows hanging by the lake, and the peaches sprinkled with fresh green, which was full of vitality. After a few steps, he could only hear the sound of the piano jingling and wading through the forest, which was particularly elegant.
Shao Shuhuan was stunned for a moment and followed the sound of the piano. She saw Shao She wearing a royal blue robe playing the piano on the water pavilion in the center of the lake. Seeing this, Shao Shuhuan couldn't help but smile and walked over.
Shao She heard the footsteps behind her and stopped her hand, just pressing her fingers on the strings—
"My father is so elegant today!" Shao Shuhuan chuckled.
"Can your highness have a new song recently?" Shao She turned around and asked with a smile.
Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, "There is a new song, but - it needs a chorus and flute ensemble!" As he said, he couldn't help but think of the Smiling Proud Wanderer in his heart.
Although there is no piano score in Mr. Jin's book, I don't know how many people are interested in writing music scores of Smiling and Proud Wanderer, among which they are naturally extraordinary and excellent.
"Can you please take a look?" Shao She asked.
"I'll order someone to send it to you tonight." Shao Shuhuan said, "My father is very leisurely recently? Have your injuries healed?" In fact, he asked this question more. Since Shao She was able to play the piano, it proved that his hands were gone.
Shao She sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, so you're going to beat me up?"
Shao Shuhuan sat down on the stone bench opposite him, and smiled calmly, "I didn't dare to torture my father."
"Isn't it all you beat me on my face?" Shao She shook her head. Although the injuries on her face were healed, they would naturally not leave any traces. However, he was greatly restricted in Qingyao Villa these days. First, Shao Shuhuan sent all the people from the Shao family out. The people who served Shao She were all the eunuchs in the palace.
At night, there were even more personal guards in his room, who were obviously protecting his safety, but in fact they were surveillance to prevent him from having any changes.
Over the past few days, Shao She has been in the process of being in the sun
There is no way to leave the gate. Except for Shao Ting, Shao Qing can come to T+ An, and the remaining court officials are not allowed to enter.
In essence, Shao Shuhuan has completely isolated him, which is equivalent to imprisonment.
Shao She knew it well, but he didn't say anything. His injuries were slightly healed. Apart from reading books, he could walk around, so he took a walk in the garden, looked at flowers, teased birds, and played the piano and played it on his own when he was bored.
"When will my father go to the morning court?" Shao Shuhuan asked suddenly.
Shao She was stunned and asked in confusion: "Shuhuan... Well, Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Just call me my name!" Shao Shuhuan shook his head and said, "I mean, since your injury has been healed, should you do something?"
"Oh?" Shao She thought for a while and sighed, "I am still in a position to be guilty now. I am just a suitable candidate for the prime minister in the court. Just a morning court!"
"When you are guilty, why are you the only one who is guilty?" Shao Shuhuan suddenly sneered.
Shao She looked down at Qinxian, pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it your intention to go to the morning court? Or does your intention?"
"What do you think?" Shao Shuhuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, let's go a little longer. I'm not going to care about these mundane affairs recently." Shao She said lightly.
"Don't want to care?" Shao Shuhuan asked, "Why? Haven't you always liked these?"
"This is the time, and that is the time. I have been lazy with you these days. It is best if I can avoid being upset." Shao She said lightly.
Shao Shuhuan was about to speak, but when he saw Wang Tai coming in a hurry, Shao Shuhuan frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Wang Tai bowed and handed over a plain letter. Shao Shuhuan opened it and looked at it briefly, nodded and said, "I understand."
Wang Tai hurriedly retreated, and Shao She said, "Since you have something to do, I will go back first." As he said that, without waiting for Shao Shuhuan to answer, he hugged Qin and turned around and left.
"I'll order someone to send the piano score here later." Shao Shuhuan said.
Shao She stopped and nodded, "Thank you."
Shao Shuhuan returned to the room and ordered Wang Tai to prepare a carriage and horse for backup. However, based on his memory, he wrote down the music score of the Smiling and Proud Wanderer and ordered someone to send it to Shao She. Since he was bored, he might as well make some difficult music scores to relieve him.
Outside the Qingyao Villa, the carriages were already in place. Wang Tai helped Shao Shuhuan get on the car and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, where are you going?"
"Qianhe Temple!" Shao Shuhuan ordered that the letter just now was sent by Liu Yuqing, and I only hoped to see it.
On New Year's Eve, Shao Shuhuan once went to Qianhe Temple, but deliberately did not see Liu Yuqing. Unexpectedly, she could not stand the loneliness of the ancient Buddha in the green lamp, so she took the initiative to invite her?
In Qianhe Temple, Liu Yuqing was wearing plain clothes, kneeling on the thin ball, looking up at the white-clothed lord, dignified and kind, with a smile on her eyes.
Shortly after she first arrived in Qianhe Temple, she knew what this place was, a nunner, a nunner different from an ordinary place, a nunner that was not given alms by donors in all directions, and a place where officials and nobles in the capital dare not easily offend them.
Princess Huaguang practiced again, and in addition to this accident, she naturally knew that there were other nobles in the palace who had practiced here, a place full of mystery and infinite stories.
However, none of these seemed to have anything to do with her - and she also vaguely understood the ultimate goal of Shao Shuhuan sending her here, so she quietly waited for his arrival.
On New Year's Eve, Shao Shuhuan came indeed, but just saw Princess Huaguang and stayed in the hall in front for a while. He left silently, as if she had been forgotten by him in a trace of time...
The girl's reserve made her say nothing and continued to wait for her long. The boring days in Chiwa Temple remained unchanged.
However, not long ago, she learned some amazing news from several nuns that the prince had an affair with the Western Barbarians and now he has fled for fear of crime and his whereabouts are unknown.
The court's struggle and the struggle for succession were extremely cruel, which seemed to have little to do with ordinary people. However, when Liu Yuqing learned about it, she couldn't help but shivered.
The Liu family - is not as good as an ordinary courtier. He is determined to support His Royal Highness the Prince. Even the old man of the Liu family embarrassed Shao Shuhuan on the spot several times. Now that His Royal Highness the Prince is overturned, the Liu family will be in danger of protection.
Liu Yuqing could no longer sit still. She needed to know what was going on with the Liu family?
She could not leave Qianhe Temple, which seemed to be ordinary, was completely beyond her expectations, so she could only send a letter to Shao Shuhuan when she came to her. She did not dare to expect him to come to see her after reading her letter, but now he is his only hope...
At this time, at that time, she is no longer the eldest lady of the Liu family who is the most beautiful in the capital... (To be continued,)
