Chapter 132：

On that day, Shaoshang and Yuan Shen rarely quarreled, and politely said goodbye to each other. Later, Shaoshang thought about it, that day was a good start, because she and Yuan Shen never met again and quarreled in the "grand occasion".

The palace and the court were restored to tranquility and serenity again. The emperor scolded the middle-ranking officials who ran on the prince that day, and scolded the prince; and in addition to the next month's Shangsi Festival ceremony, the emperor also let the prince Adjacent to the court.

However, according to the prince's words, he would rather read and write in the East Palace, drink a bottle of mellow wine, paint a quiet peach blossom, go fishing by the lake, and enjoy the scenery in the mountains. Listening to the obscure or fierce reports of the courtiers—as if to prove the reliability of these words, the prince turned his head and handed over all the seals of the East Palace to Ling Budo.

The queen said that the crown prince is more and more like her father, the long-dead Taigong Xuan.

Shao Shang finally met the famous Yan Shenxian. He was twenty or thirty years older than the emperor. At this time, his hair and beard were all white, but his face was still rosy and spirited. His speech and manners were all smiling and amiable. People at that time generally had a short lifespan, so there was a natural admiration for Lao Yan, an old longevity star who looked like a fairy.

It is said that the old man was successful in farming, so he sold food for tuition, and went to Lao Yan, whom he met when he was studying in the former capital city. He and the emperor were called classmates and old friends, and they really had a friendship of half a teacher.

It was a rare encounter, the old man still touched Yan Shenxian's fat belly and begged him to become an official in the court. When Yan Shenxian heard it, he was going to wash his ears, and the old man grabbed him and scolded him, "Can you?" Don't you just follow the actions of the sages. People drink river water and eat wild fruits. How can you be too little?" Yan Shenxian said jokingly, "In fact, the old man is complimenting His Majesty for having the wisdom of Emperor Yao."

The pleas were fruitless, the old man had to ask Lao Yan to stay for a few more days, and have a full night talk, and then Lao Yan pressed his thigh on the belly of the old man while sleeping. Taishi angrily reported that it was the guest star who had violated the throne, and the uncle Huang had to rub his belly to intercede to Lao Yan, and Shenxian Yan took the opportunity to leave again.

The emperor took the old man's arm and sighed: "Have you seen Zisheng, brother Huo Chong's only blood, you live until next month when he gets married before leaving. Do you remember, that year If you and I met a mountain bandit, if Uncle Zisheng hadn't rescued him in time, how could you be an immortal, you'd be a ghost!"

Yan Shenxian sighed: "I already said that the road cannot be taken, the mountain pass is low pressure, and the peaks are stacked like haze, which is a great evil in Fengshui, but His Majesty said that the road is near and must be walked... alas Well, it's okay, just wait until next month."

Ling Budoubt had prepared everything needed for the wedding N years ago, including all kinds of gold, jade, bead and jade, incense wood sacrificial utensils, brocade and embroidery; Since then, he immediately ordered the knitting workshop in the palace to work on the wedding gown, and also asked Da Honglu to hold the wedding ceremony according to the regulations of the prince.

It is not that there are no ministers in the court who have criticisms about this, but whoever has an opinion, the old man will wear small shoes for others. It's not to criticize people's life style, or to criticize people's problems with men and women. Otherwise, it's extravagant to say that people are picky eaters, and then everyone is quiet - it's not a big deal anyway, just keep your eyes open and close your eyes.

As the wedding day approached, Ling Budo became more and more gloomy and silent. Either he was busy and disappeared, or he sat quietly and didn't speak for a long time. There were several times when Shao Shang took a nap in the palace, and woke up to see Ling Budo sitting next to him, staring at him in a daze, his eyes were obscure, and he seemed to be sad and worried.

Shao Shang couldn't help but ask him what was wrong, Ling Budo said with difficulty: "The people who were sent to find my uncle's old department have not returned yet, I can't say, it's empty again."

Shao Shang knew that this was the knot in his heart, so he persuaded: "If it is true that he is no longer alive, then the heroic spirit has passed away, and maybe he has been reincarnated into a wealthy and peaceful good family. Let's do our best to obey the destiny."

Ling Budo shook his head, and was silent for a while, then said, "Mother's health is not very good..."

Sigh, this is the real worry. Huo Junhua became more and more groggy. Cui Hou cried and wiped away tears all day long. In order to serve the decoction, she now spends almost a day in the palace and Xinghua Courtyard for two days. As the "nephew bride who beats the autumn wind", Shao Shang's diligence and thoughtfulness has been praised by Huo Junhua several times.

She said: "It's already spring, and the cold is still a bit heavier. When the spring flowers bloom next month, maybe Madam will be fine."

Ling Budo nodded. However, the melancholy in his eyes was like the mist in the valley in early spring, and it couldn't be melted away.

Ling Cheng and the others were worried about Huo Junhua's body, and Ruyang Palace came to report that the old princess looked bad.

However, the old princess was obviously unwilling to leave quietly, and even when she was seriously ill, she begged the emperor for grace. The old princess said, "...I don't care about the other children, but Nuying is the only one who is pitiful. She lost her father and mother at a young age. In the future, the palace will be her uncle and aunt, and it will be separated by another layer. For the love of my father, I have more pity."

The emperor thought of his cousin who died in battle, and sighed, so he gave more money to Tang Mu from the two counties of Yuchang County, and sealed her future husband-in-law, Ling Budo His step-brother, a noble official of Sanqi doctor.

The prince was very sympathetic: "Sister Nuying has been quiet and virtuous since she was a child, and I hope that her life will be smooth and worry-free in the future, just like a young seed blown by the wind. Take root and start a family.”

These words are both affectionate and artistic, the emperor was feeling moved, and the third prince said coldly: "The father and the emperor should wait for the old princess to pass away. Woolen cloth."

The emperor's emotion was immediately blocked. He gave his third son a blank look, but Yan Shenxian laughed, pointed at the third prince and said, "This son is quite like Your Majesty."

The emperor's face turned blue when he heard it, and after driving everyone out, he scolded: "Bullshit, you are old-fashioned! How generous I was when I was young, those who used to bully my brothers and sisters were lonely and fatherless, I don't care about anyone!"

Yan Shenxian weighed her fat belly and smiled: "It's good that your majesty is happy."

I don't know if the crow's mouth of the third prince is too clever. The old princess of Ruyang is really 'in critical condition' and she is still standing for seven or eight days. Not only is the emperor a little unhappy, even Ruyang's palace Very embarrassing - not expecting the old princess to die soon, but in case she survived and lived for another three years, five years, ten years and eight years, what about the emperor's 'hospice care', I'll see you next time 'Death' or not 'caring'.

It was Cui Hou's urgent report from Xinghua Courtyard that Huo Junhua was really critically ill.

A large cloud of thick darkness opened up in the sky—after sighing in disappointment, he immediately told Ling Budo to stop everything he was doing and rush to Xinghua Courtyard, and Shao Shang quickly packed his bags and went to serve.

There are also precious medicinal materials and blessings that are continuously sent from the capital.

The towering mountain ridges of immortality, sitting upright and sitting beside them, were silent and cold.

"Xiao Junhua, Xiao Junhua, wake up..." Cui Hou held Hof's hand and kept calling softly, but the person on the couch remained unconscious.

Everyone has been guarding the house, when the night shrouded the apricot forest, Shaoshang heard the heavy rain outside.

In the middle of the night, Cui Hou felt his hand tighten and immediately straightened up and called out. Sure enough, Huo Junhua woke up without warning and held his hand tightly.

In the past few months, Shao Shang has been with Huo Junhua for a long time, but she has never seen such an expression on Huo Junhua's face - Huo Junhua is no longer the coquettish and unruly girl of the past , but an adult woman who has been through the years of pain and suffering.

She looked at Cui Hou fixedly and muttered, "A Yuan, A Yuan...Are you picking mulberries..."

"You...you..." Cui Hou was at a loss, wondering if Huo Junhua remembered the past.

"...I want the tallest bunch of mulberries, black and purple, it must be very sweet...Brother, don't scold me, I didn't let Ape climb so high, if you don't believe me, ask him..." Huo Junhua lay quietly on the couch, big tears flowing down his cheeks to both sides.

"If you want to eat mulberries, I'll pick them, I'll pick them, don't worry..." Cui Hou continued.

"A Yuan, A Yuan, if only I would marry you!" - Huo Junhua suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, it was pouring rain outside, and a thrilling spring thunder suddenly sounded.

"Junhua!" Cui Hou was stunned for a moment, then rushed up and hugged Huo Junhua tightly.

Huo Junhua stretched out his pale and thin arms and wrapped around Cui You's neck—

"I wish I married you, I'm blind, I'm an idiot, I should have married you a long time ago...Ape, if only I would marry you, if I marry You'll be fine... Ah Yuan, I'm sorry for you, the affection you treat me, I can only repay in the next life..." She cried with tears on her face, as if she wanted to regret and suffer for a lifetime All sued.

Cui You understood and said loudly, "Zisheng, come here, come here!"

Ling Budo walked to the front of the collapse, knelt down, and stretched out his hands trembling slightly.

Huo Junhua grabbed it and looked straight at him, what erupted in his eyes was not the deep affection and remorse towards Cui Houshi, but a fiery, intense and excited emotion—“ Ah li... my Ah li, my mother has been thinking about you... you, you can't forget..."

These were the last words Huo Junhua said, and then she slumped back to the couch, breathless.

Cui Houyou couldn't believe it, he probed and probed, and finally hugged the body of the person he loved slowly and gradually became cold, and burst into tears; the slaves inside and outside the house also cried.
