Rebirth at the turn of the Zhou and Sui dynasties

Chapter 585
In the third year of Kaiping (AD 611), August th is another Mid-Autumn Festival.

The theft of the East Palace did not affect ordinary people, at most it provided them with something to talk about after dinner.

Officials in various prefectures and counties successively organized the people to start the autumn harvest, and in Luoyang Palace, Cui Che also held a banquet for the officials.

Empress Yang Awu sat beside Cui Che, and ministers and ministers each brought their children to attend.

As we all know, Emperor Dayan's only prostitute, Princess Cui Wenjun of Boling, was twelve years old and had reached the age of engagement.

As long as there are children of the right age in the family, no one wants to welcome the princess who is born in the first place into the home.

Today, Yang Ah Wu is also looking for a good husband for his daughter.

It's just that what she looked for was not the general's disciple.

A general dies in a hundred battles, but a strong man lives ten years.

Cui Che had insisted on marrying the concubine daughters to the young general he loved, but Yang Awu didn't care, but she would not let her only concubine daughter live a life of fear.

After drinking for three rounds, the host and guest parted happily, Cui Che asked Yang Ah Wu:

"Have you found a suitable boy?"

Yang Awu shook his head and said:

"I still have to ask Wenjun what he thinks."

Cui Wenjun and Guanyin's maid were arranged in the back room, watching the children of Gongqing in the hall through the screen.

It's just that Cui Wenjun's gaze has been wandering around the hall, but Guanyin's servant girl never looked at others.

Cui Che and Yang Awu came to the back compartment and pushed away the others, leaving only Cui Wenjun and Guanyin Maid, asking them if there was any young man they could catch their eyes with.

The two shook their heads in agreement.

Cui Che said helplessly:
"You two are very picky, that's all. Marriage is a matter of life-long happiness, so you can't settle for it. You have to be patient in your choice. You are only 12 years old, so there is no need to rush."

Leaving the back compartment, Cui Che came to Yang Lihua's former residence with a bright moon above his head.

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard bloomed, but no one shared them with him.

Cui Che sat in the pavilion in the courtyard for a long time, and he didn't get up until late at night.

The confidant eunuch asked softly:

"Your Majesty, where will you rest tonight?"

Cui Che looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said casually:
"Since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should go to Lanyue Tower."

It was already midnight at this time, and the lights in Lanyue Building had been turned off.

The servant girl who stayed in Lanyue Tower wanted to salute, but Cui Che raised her hand to stop her.

Cui Che pushed open the door of the inner bedroom and stepped inside.

Dou fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling someone hugged her from behind, at first she thought it was Mrs. Gu of Tianzhu.

When Mrs. Dou entered the palace, she discussed with Mrs. Tianzhu the marriage between Li Shimin and Yin Yue'e. Although the two were more than ten years apart, they hit it off and talked happily. From then on, they had many contacts.

Cui Che hosted a banquet today, Dou Shi was also taken to Luoyang Palace, at the invitation of Madam Tianzhu, stayed in the palace, and slept with her at night.

This is not the first time Dou has stayed in the palace. She is often stayed by her daughter, Mrs. Pingyang Li Xiuning.

However, when the people behind him moved more and more aggressively, Mrs. Dou had already woken up with a start, her back was turned outward, and Mrs. Tianzhu was sleeping soundly inside.

Madam Dou was about to scream, but someone close to her back obviously noticed that Madam Dou had woken up.

In the darkness, he covered Dou's mouth and said softly:
"A good night is rare, my concubine must not disturb Yaxing."

Of course, Mrs. Dou knew the identity of the person behind him. Besides him, who else could come to Lanyue Tower.

Seeing him calling himself Concubine Ai, Dou thought to himself:

'Maybe he really recognized the wrong person. '

Since Li Yuan's accidental death, Dou has been guarding her body for three years. She is in her early forties, how can she stand up to the actions of the people behind her.

The long-lost pleasure made her sink into it.

Mrs. Dou gritted her teeth, not wanting to wake up Mrs. Tianzhu. The only sound left was the rough breathing of the two of them while they were lying in bed.

After a long time, Cui Che pretended to be calm and walked out of the inner bedroom. The maids serving outside the building at night saluted one after another. Cui Che said calmly:
"Today, I am lucky enough to take over the Moon Tower. It must not be known to outsiders."

The palace maids hurriedly agreed.

It was already the fifth watch, and Cui Che returned to the side hall where he usually handles government affairs, still restless.

Mrs. Gu from Tianzhu is deeply favored by Cui Che because of her exotic style, how could he not know that the person under him is not his beloved concubine.

Besides Yinyue'e, the only one who could appear in Lanyue Building and sleep with Gu Shi was Dou Shi, who had a close friendship with Gu Shi.

With a mature and plump touch, it is obviously impossible to be Yin Yue'e.

Cui Che never imagined that he would do stupid things that violate ethics.

When Mrs. Tianzhu woke up, Mrs. Dou had already wiped it clean.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Bone asked with a smile.

Dou was ashamed, she bowed her head and said:
"It's okay."

After washing, Mrs. Dou did not stay in the palace, she left in a hurry, she wanted to go straight back to the mansion, but she was worried that people would find out that something was wrong, so she had to go to the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Li Xiuning, Pingyang as usual.

After Mrs. Dou went out, Mrs. Gu's smile dimmed.

She is not a dead thing, the voices the two of them made unconsciously last night still woke her up.

Gu Shi knew that Dou Shi could not be blamed for this matter, so he could only sit and lie down alone, sighing sadly.

When Mrs. Dou came to Li Xiuning's bedroom, Cui Che had already been waiting here.

He naturally knew that Dou's family must say goodbye to Li Xiuning before leaving the palace.

"Mother-in-law is here."

Cui Che smiled lightly.

This cloudless appearance, as if nothing happened last night.

Dou was quite guilty, but her daughter was in front of her, she didn't dare to let Li Xiuning see something was wrong, so she had to bite the bullet and salute Cui Che.

Cui Che helped Dou Shi up, and his fingertips lightly slid across Dou Shi's palm.

Mrs. Dou was frightened and quickly looked at Li Xiuning and found that she was making tea with her head down, and she finally let go of her worries.

She gave Cui Che a hard look, as if she had forgotten the difference in identity.

"Okay, you mother and daughter have something to say slowly, and I have to go to the front hall to watch things."

Cui Che said loudly.

After Cui Che left, Dou strove to have a conversation with Li Xiuning before leaving the palace.

The carriage drove slowly, and in the carriage, Dou's mind with her eyes closed was all about the impact and fit that Cui Che brought her in Lanyue Tower.

After a few days, an eunuch from the palace came to the Tang State Mansion and said that Mrs. Tianzhu invited Mrs. Dou into the palace to discuss the wedding date of Li Shimin and Yin Yue'e.

Dou did not set off immediately, but after taking a bath with flower petals, she got on the carriage to Luoyang Palace with a faint fragrance of flowers.

And outsiders have no doubts, after all Dou's relationship with Madam Tianzhu is well known.

Mrs. Dou stepped into the inner bedroom of Lanyue Tower, and there was only Mrs. Tianzhu in the room.

Just when a little disappointment flashed in her heart, a person came out with a smile from behind the screen. He was dressed as an eunuch and apparently came to Lanyue Tower secretly.

The man saluted Dou and said:

"My son-in-law is very polite."
