On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 585 Embrace the Moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival

August 15th, the third year of Kaiping (AD 611), is another Mid-Autumn Festival.

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

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

Queen Yang Awu sat down next to Cui Che, and the ministers and ministers attended with their children.

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

Anyone who has children of the right age at home would not want to welcome this legitimate princess into their home.

Today, Yang Awu is looking for a suitable husband for his daughter.

But the person she was looking for was not the general's disciples.

A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will survive in ten years.

Cui Che had previously insisted on marrying his concubines to his favorite young generals, and Yang Awu didn't care, but she would not let her only legitimate daughter live a life of fear.

After three drinks, the guests and hosts parted happily. Cui Che asked Yang Awu:

"Have you found the right boy?"

Yang Awu shook his head and said:

"I want to ask Wenjun what he thinks."

Cui Wenjun and Guanyin's maid were arranged in the back compartment, watching the prince's children in the palace through the screen.

It's just that Cui Wenjun's eyes kept wandering around the hall, but Guanyin Maid never looked at anyone else.

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 who could catch their eye.

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 must choose patiently. You are only twelve years old, so there is no need to rush."

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

The osmanthus tree in the courtyard was in bloom, but no one was there to enjoy it with him.

Cui Che sat in the pavilion in the courtyard for a long time, and it was not until late at night that he got up.

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, I should go to the Moon Tower."

It was already late at night, and the lights in Lanyue Tower had been turned off.

The maid who stayed at Lanyue Tower wanted to salute, but Cui Che raised her hand to stop her.

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

While Dou was drowsily sleeping, she felt someone hugging her from behind. At first, she thought it was Mrs. Gu from 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, and they kept in touch with each other from then on.

Cui Che held a banquet today, and Dou was also brought to Luoyang Palace. At the invitation of Mrs. Tianzhu, he stayed in the palace and talked with her at night.

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

However, when the actions of the person behind him became more and more reckless, Mr. Dou had already woken up, his back was facing outward, and Mrs. Tianzhu was sleeping soundly inside.

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

In the darkness, he covered Mr. Dou's mouth and whispered:

"A good night is rare, my beloved concubine must not disturb Yaxing."

Of course Mr. Dou knew the identity of the person behind him. Who else could come to this Lanyue Tower except him.

Seeing him calling her his beloved concubine, Dou thought to herself:

'Maybe he really recognized the wrong person.'

Since Li Yuan's accidental death, Ms. Dou has been guarding her body for three years. How could she, who was in her early forties, withstand the actions of those behind her?

The long-lost pleasure made her sink into it.

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

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:

"The fact that I am lucky enough to take over the Moon Tower today must not be known to outsiders."

The maids hurriedly agreed.

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

Mrs. Gu of Tianzhu was deeply loved by Cui Che because of her exotic charm. How could he not know that the person under her was not his beloved concubine.

Apart from Yin Yue'e, the only one who can appear in Lanyue Tower and sleep with the Gu family is the Dou family, who has a close friendship with the Gu family.

The mature and plump touch obviously cannot be Yin Yue'e.

Cui Che never imagined that he would do something unethical and foolish.

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

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Mr. Gu asked with a smile.

Mrs. Dou was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said:

"Alright."

After washing, Mrs. Dou did not stay in the palace. She left in a hurry. She wanted to go straight back to the palace, but she was worried that people would notice something fishy, ​​so she had to go to the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Pingyang Li Xiuning, as she did in the past.

After Mrs. Dou went out, Madam Tianzhu's smile dimmed.

She was not a dead thing, and the sounds the two of them made unconsciously last night still woke her up.

Mr. Gu knew that he could not blame Mr. Dou for this matter, so he had to sit alone and lie down, sighing sadly.

When Mrs. Dou arrived at Li Xiuning's palace, Cui Che was already waiting there.

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

"Mother-in-law is here."

Cui Che laughed softly.

He looked so calm and calm, as if nothing happened last night.

Mrs. Dou felt quite guilty, but with her daughter right in front of her, she didn't dare to let Li Xiuning see what was wrong, so she had no choice but to salute Cui Che.

Cui Che helped Mrs. Dou up and gently traced his fingertips on Mrs. Dou's palm.

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

She glared at Cui Che fiercely, seeming to have forgotten the difference in status.

"Okay, if you mother and daughter have anything to say, don't hesitate to speak. I have to go to the front hall to take care of things."

Cui Che said loudly.

After Cui Che left, Dou gathered her energy and had a conversation with Li Xiuning before leaving the palace.

The carriage was driving slowly, and in the carriage, Dou, who closed her eyes and was concentrating, could only think of the impact and harmony that Cui Che had brought to her at Lanyue Tower.

A few days later, a eunuch from the palace came to the Tang Palace and said that Mrs. Tianzhu had invited the Dou family to the palace to discuss the wedding date of Li Shimin and Yin Yue'e.

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

And outsiders have no doubts. After all, it is well known that Mr. Dou and Mrs. Tianzhu have a good relationship.

Mrs. Dou walked into the inner bedroom of Lanyue Tower. Mrs. Tianzhu was the only one in the room.

Just when she was feeling a little disappointed, a man walked out from behind the screen with a smile. He was dressed as a eunuch and was serving, and he obviously came to Lanyue Tower secretly.

The man saluted Mrs. Dou and said:

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