Chapter 106
While waiting for Lu Huiling to arrive, Qi Bingyu retreated to the left and right, closed his eyes and meditated alone in the Qinzheng Hall, and accidentally fell asleep.
He had a dream, a long time ago.
In the dream, he was in his thirties and in his prime. Lu Fushuang was only twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old. He had just ascended the throne, and there were only three thousand beauties in the harem, but only the queen.
The Queen Mother was still alive at that time, and she kept urging him to choose a concubine. Even Lu Fushuang felt embarrassed when she pushed hard.
She said, the ministers and people in the palace all said that I wouldn't let you choose a concubine.
He smiled at that time and said, it is enough to have you by my side, there is no need for those empty ones.
He is probably the emperor who least wants to have three thousand beauties in the world.
Later, due to political reasons, with more and more women around him, Lu Fushuang began to become jealous and changed beyond recognition, but he would still coax her kindly.
In his eyes, she is good at singing and dancing, gentle and considerate, dignified and virtuous, and is the best queen in the world.
During the time when she was ill, her temper became particularly bad. She often instigated Jing Yang to do bad things. She also mistakenly thought that Concubine Mei wanted to harm her and her son, so she once brutally attacked the young Wangshu.
Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and stayed in Mei Fei Palace angrily, drank some wine, and even though people from Qianning Palace came to invite her many times, saying that the queen was critically ill and wanted to see the emperor for the last time, he thought it was her unreasonable trouble.
I remember that morning, it had just rained heavily at night, and the palace was brand new. He had to get up early because of the morning meeting, and the people from Qianning Palace knelt at the door of Yichun Palace, crying and telling him that the queen had passed away.
The morning court was canceled that day. This was the first time that he had missed the morning court in more than 30 years as emperor.
The people who served the queen said that the queen did not want the funeral to be too grand. She did not like those regulations and just wanted to be buried quietly in the imperial mausoleum.
He felt that it was not possible, so he still managed it in a big way. He owed her what he owed her during his lifetime and wanted to make up for it after his death, but it was too late.
Now he still remembers that many years ago in the East Palace, when there were only two of them, Lu Fushuang smiled like a flower and was like the reincarnation of the Luo Shen.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch He led them to the door of the Qinzheng Palace. Seeing that all the palace servants waiting inside had come out, he stepped forward and gently knocked on the door and called, "Prime Minister Lu and Miss Lu are here."
Qi Bingyu suddenly woke up when he heard Eunuch He's call. Only then did he realize that the corners of his eyes were full of tears.
He wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, pressed his swollen and painful temples, and said to Eunuch He: "Come in."
"Prime Minister Lu, Miss Lu. Your Majesty invites you." Eunuch He nodded and said to the two people behind him.
The eunuch at the door pushed open the door of the Qinzheng Hall, and a blocked light shone into the Qinzheng Hall, and Lu Huiling entered in response.
That ray of light covered Lu Huiling's whole body with golden light. As she walked, her skirt fluttered, like a fairy.
As soon as Qi Bingyu saw her, his eyes couldn't help but stare at her. He stood up, his eyes slightly moist, as if he really saw Lu Fushuang, who felt deeply indebted.
"My daughter, Lu Huiling, has met the emperor. Long live the emperor." Lu Huiling walked to the center of the hall and knelt down with Lu Gaohong to salute the emperor.
Lu Huiling. Oh, yes, she is Lu Huiling.
Qi Bingyu composed himself and said: "Pingshen."
Lu Huiling stood up as instructed, looked up at the emperor, and seemed to be smiling, which always made people feel very warm.
Only then did Qi Bingyu see that she was not Lu Fushuang, but she looked very much like Lu Fushuang. Her movements, makeup, and makeup were all the same as Lu Fushuang's back then.
Qi Bingyu knew that it was not good for him to stare at her all the time, so he lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, then looked up at Lu Gaohong: "Why is Lu Aiqing here?"
Lu Gaohong was very satisfied with the emperor's reaction when he saw Lu Huiling. He raised his hand and said, "We need to discuss the resettlement of refugees with the emperor."
"We'll discuss this matter tomorrow morning." Qi Bingyu was a little annoyed.
"Yes." It was just an excuse anyway, Lu Gaohong replied calmly.
The four of them were silent for a while.
"You all go out, Lu Huiling stays." Qi Bingyu said.
"Yes." Eunuch He leaned over and resigned, but Lu Gaohong stood still.
"Can't you hear what I say?" Qi Bingyu asked when he saw that Lu Gaohong had no intention of going out.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Lu Gaohong knelt down with his hands raised, "My daughter Huiling is still young, and she is not sensible now. I have never had the time to meet the saint alone. I am afraid that my daughter Huiling will make rude remarks and disturb the emperor. I hope that the emperor Xu Chen will stay."
, I feel sorry for my father’s hard work.”
Lu Huiling saw Lu Gaohong kneeling down and quickly knelt down behind him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Qi Bingyu waved his hand: "That's fine. Get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Gaohong said.
"Lu Huiling raised her head," Qi Bingyu said.
Lu Huiling followed the instructions and looked up at the emperor.
It's so similar, so similar.
Qi Bingyu looked at Lu Huiling as if he had seen Lu Fushuang in her prime in 1928. He was so excited that he wanted to stand up and give him a hug. But now he was no longer the young man in his twenties, so he suppressed his inner excitement.
, asked calmly: "Were you the woman who danced and prayed on the drum platform yesterday?"
"As for the emperor, she is my daughter." Lu Huiling replied.
"Is your foot okay?" Qi Bingyu said, "Did you come into the palace?"
Lu Huiling was stunned. She didn't expect that the emperor would even notice this. She quickly knelt down and said, "I am scared. Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. I am fine now."
"Whenever I see you, I always think of the late Queen." When Qi Bingyu saw her like this, he remembered Lu Fushuang's appearance back then. Her smile, smile, hands and feet were exactly the same, as if they were copied and engraved.
"I don't dare to be a minister. The emperor's aunt is dignified and virtuous. She is a virtuous queen. How can a minister be even one ten thousandth more virtuous?" Lu Huiling leaned over and said, "If the emperor's aunt has a spirit in heaven, I will know
The Emperor is still so affectionate and has not forgotten the friendship even after so many years. He must be very happy."
"Yes, she will definitely be very happy." Qi Bingyu said with emotion, "Lu Aiqing has taught her daughter well. She may be said to be young and ignorant, but her words and deeds are everyone's style."
"I thank the Emperor for your praise." Lu Gaohong said with cupped hands.
"Praying blessings for the three armies on the war drum is an arduous task. Lu Huiling accepted the order at the critical moment, which is truly a feat. Her dancing posture is light and has the appearance of the reincarnation of the Luo Shen. Her flexibility is mixed with perseverance. She is a model for an official woman.
Reward." Qi Bingyu said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Qi Bingyu looked at Lu Huiling, and the more he looked at her, the more he looked like Lu Fushuang. He wanted to try his best to give her the best things in the world to fulfill his debt to Lu Fushuang.
"I don't dare to accept this. It is a great honor to be able to pray for the three armies and dance on the war drums. I don't dare to ask for too much." Lu Huiling leaned forward and said.
Qi Bingyu felt a sharp pain in his heart and suddenly started coughing. He heard it outside the door and Eunuch He quickly ran in to feed him the heart-protecting pill. Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong both looked at the emperor with worried faces.
After taking the elixir and the pain subsided after a while, Qi Bingyu opened his eyes and looked at them.
Lu Gaohong winked at Lu Huiling calmly, and Lu Huiling nodded in understanding.
She walked forward on her knees, looked up at the emperor, and said: "I saw that wars were happening frequently and people all over the world were suffering. I had the courage to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I was unable to do it. I have one thing to ask the emperor to do."
.”
"What's the matter?" Qi Bingyu asked.
"The emperor is the lord of the world. If anything happens to the emperor, the world will definitely be in turmoil. I only hope that the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, but my daughter is unable to carry out her grand ambitions. The emperor is currently ill. If I can serve the emperor, that will be fine.
I have fulfilled my daughter's wish." Lu Huiling said, leaning down and kowtow.
"This..." Eunuch He looked surprised. He turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this..."
Lu Gaohong stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is rare for a little girl to have her own intentions. I hope the Emperor will fulfill her wish. Now that the dynasty is in trouble, I have no choice but to have three heads and six arms to help the Emperor. If the little girl Huiling serves the Emperor, then I, the Lu family, can be regarded as the Emperor.
