Chapter 34 is so caught off guard
Emperor Jing of Han received a letter from Liu Che early in the morning, which was sent by Cai Jiu by Liu Che, with his great name marked on it.
What's wrong with saying it in person? Liu Qi opened the letter suspiciously. After reading it, he realized why he didn't come by himself. It turned out that the prince was preparing the Queen Mother's birthday gift and had no intention of coming.
Especially the last sentence: Don’t disturb me when planning in a secret way! This sentence made Liu Qi blow his beard. This kid did it on purpose. It would be strange if he believed it. How could he have not seen him formally before?
The content in the seal made him a little difficult. It was not impossible to give Sima Xiangru a music official. His lyrics were also read Liu Qi, and they were written very beautifully and could be read.
It was just that giving him an official position for no reason was a bit unconventional. In his opinion, only those who contribute to the country could be rewarded. But Liu Che said in the letter that he had made contributions soon, which made Liu Qi shake.
He chose to believe Liu Che, and wrote a royal decree and handed it over to the Xiaohuangmen to go out of the palace to pass the imperial decree. There were countless people who received the royal salary, and not many of them were the most.
Liu Che was busy with his major event. Preparing the birthday ceremony for the empress dowager seemed to be a rare opportunity in his opinion. Although the empress dowager was kind to himself on the surface, she still felt a little uncomfortable with him due to the appointment of the crown prince.
Liu Qi said drunk that King Liang would inherit the throne, but now he has no faith. If the empress dowager cannot eliminate this knot, Liu Che must have been suppressed by the empress dowager when he ascended the throne.
The most important thing about a birthday gift is the heart. The empress dowager will not care about any expensive things. It will be of great use to be able to produce some new things. Kongming lanterns lingered when they emerged in Liu Che's mind. After thinking for a long time, Liu Che was about to use Kongming lanterns to write articles.
Bamboo strips are used to make square racks, paste them with paper, and make headlights. Burning pine resin is placed on the chassis. The lamp flies into the sky with hot air and is used as a military contact signal. This pine resin lamp is called Kongming lantern in Shu. The appearance of this lantern looks like the hat worn by Zhuge Liang, so it is named.
According to legend, Kongming Lanterns appeared only during the Three Kingdoms period. In the Han Dynasty, it must be a rare thing. Things that can reach the sky are not simple. In ancient times, people believed that the sky was supreme, and worshiping ancestors was conveyed to the sky. The scene of Kongming Lanterns rising into the sky would surely surprise them.
When Chen Ajiao smiled and came to the prince's uterus, Liu Che threw a few cut bamboos to her. A coolie came, and he felt that it was a wonderful choice to let Ajiao do things and grind her temper.
"Xiao Che, what are you doing for me about this bamboo? Wow, what are you making up?"
"Sister Gillian, you know how to make garlands. This should not be difficult for you. If you see that there are no finished products on the ground, just follow this!"
Chen Ajiao threw Xizhu aside and asked, "This is your business, why did I do it? You promised to take me out of the palace to play! My mother didn't let me go out alone, and she happened to sneak out of the palace with you, and my mother wouldn't know!"
"Sister Gillian, the garland you made last time is so beautiful!"
"That's natural!"
"Sister, you are so powerful, this is definitely no problem, right?"
"That's natural!"
"Then you pick up the thin bamboo and take a look." Liu Che said with confidence.
"Uh, I'll do it. I'm waiting to leave the palace. You can't say no!"
Damn, how can a man say no?
Liu Che has been doing it for a while and is a little hungry. He is very old and can't do it when he is hungry. He took out the osmanthus cake he made in his arms and started chewing it, smacking his lips while eating.
Well, it seemed that he had forgotten a free coolie. Liu Che looked at Chen Ajiao with murderous look intently and handed her the osmanthus cake wrapped in paper in her hand.
"You know what you know, hum." Chen Ajiao took a bite and two dimples appeared on her face, which looked so cute that it looked like a panda baby.
"It's so delicious, did Xiaoche make it? I heard your mother mention it last time, and I finally got it today. Hehe! I really want Xiaoche to make it for me every day in the future."
"Even eating can't block your mouth..."
"Xiao Che...I...choke..."
After eating too fast, Chen Ajiao blushed and she quickly called for help.
Liu Che hurriedly brought a glass of water from the hall, put Chen Ajiao in his arms, fed her a few sips, pounded her back lightly to cure choking, this method is faster.
After taking the food down, Chen Ajiao's expression returned to normal. She saw Liu Che's nervous look. When Liu Che wanted to get up, she pulled him over, curled up in his arms, and showed a happy smile on her face.
Liu Che was a little at a loss. He didn't know what he had for Chen Ajiao. Anyway, he had a unique feeling in his heart, so he unconsciously hugged her gently.
Time passed without realizing it, and there were still several Kongming lanterns that had not finished. Only then did Liu Che remember and gently pushed Chen Ajiao away.
"We still have several more not finished. After we finish, I will send you to the palace gate. My aunt will probably wait for you at the palace gate."
"Yeah," the girl's voice was as low as a mosquito.
The task was completed quickly, and it really means that men and women are not tired of working together.
When Kongming Lantern ascended to heaven, Chen Ajiao held Liu Che's hand tightly. It was obvious that the first time I saw such a scene, I was very excited.
The Kongming lantern floated slowly. Although the dim lights were not bright, they were very conspicuous in the sky, passing a faint arc, and disappeared soon after.
"Xiao Che, you can make a lot of things, both papermaking and what you call Kongming lanterns and osmanthus cake. You will definitely be very happy to be with you." Chen Ajiao's red face was particularly bright in Liu Che's eyes.
Is this confessed? Liu Che suppressed his heart and said, "It's getting late, I'll send you out of the palace!"
It seems rare that Liu Che and Chen Ajiao appeared at the palace gate together. The eldest princess took her daughter away and her steps were cheerful.
Watching the car driver slowly walk away, Liu Che found that he had more sustenance to this place. He sighed and ignored the car driver from the yellow door. He wanted to walk back to the prince's uterus step by step. He didn't understand what the prince's meaning was, and the car driver followed him.
At the same time, the imperial edicts of the little Huangs were also sent to Sima Xiangru's courtyard. After inquiring for a long time, I found out that Sima Xiangru lived here and was a little late. However, once the imperial edict was finished, it still could not stop Sima Xiangru's enthusiasm.
"Brother, you are tired, so you'd better take a few sips of Xiangru Wenwei hot bar! It's not too late to leave after you finish drinking!"
At first, Xiaohuangmen didn't know what the emperor wanted to promulgate, but when he heard the content, he realized that he had a new official. Although his official position was not very high, he was also serving the royal family. Xiaohuangmen still sold his face and left after drinking.
"It seems that Your Highness the Crown Prince still cares about you. In the future, Your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be valued. I will first express my gratitude to Xiangfu!" Zhuo Wenjun was also happy for Sima Xiangru.
She couldn't be unfilial either. Although she ran away with Sima Xiangru, she still wanted her father to forgive him.
