In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, moved Han Xin, the king of Qi, to the king of Chu. In the eighth year of the Han Dynasty, the King of Chu was reported by his subordinates for having a disobedient heart, but the matter was finally settled, and Han Gaozu just demoted him from the King of Chu to the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Han Xin was resentful, and repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with Han Gaozu in public, saying that he had made great military achievements, but he had the same reputation as a group of civil servants and ordinary generals, and he was ashamed to be on a par with them, and he also said "If it weren't for me, where would Liu Bang be able to sit firmly in the world."

Liu Bang was so angry that he hadn't set foot in the harem for a month. Lu Pheasant estimated that he couldn't tolerate Han Xin anymore.

It is difficult to say whether Han Xin has any objections, but if he really wants to rebel, in terms of the military power he can influence, it may really make Emperor Liu Bang's throne unstable.

Han Xin is the most famous military strategist of this era, good at using troops to fight and arrange troops, if he is the second, no one dares to call him the first. He helped Liu Bang destroy the four anti-Qin forces of Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Qi in a row, and destroyed Xiang Yu, and he had more than half of the army strength of the Han Dynasty in his hands. Even Zhang Liang said, "If Han Xin is opposed, no one can control it."

Although Liu Bang has the means to bring these people together, his own military ability is very poor. Several times, he was chased by Xiang Yu. In the end, being able to survive and turn defeat into victory is inseparable from Han Xin's efforts. Because of this, he was even more jealous of Han Xin in his heart.

In the past, the interests of the two were the same, but they were also compatible. Now that it has become the opposite of interests, it is a bit difficult to get along.

However, Liu Bang has his own advantages. His throne was given to him by Emperor Yi's Zen throne, and what he got was above board. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Xiahou Ying and others under him are not vegetarians, although they may not be as good as Han Xin in fighting, but they are more than enough in other aspects. In addition, the common people have suffered from many years of war, and it is the time when people's minds are determined, and they do not want to fight if they can not fight. Therefore, in terms of restraining Han Xin, the government and the opposition are very united.

Originally, fame and fortune have two sides, and no one can only enjoy its good without suffering the risks it brings. When Han Xin was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, there was no minister to speak for him, he didn't see the crisis behind this incident, and he didn't understand the truth of taking a step back and opening up the sky, but he had a grudge against Liu Bang, and he expressed it casually in public. Doesn't this make Liu Bang even more uneasy about him?

Although the title of "Hou" is not as good as that of "Prince", it can leave a buffer space between him and Liu Bang! I didn't see Zhang Liang living a very nourishing life in the position of "Liuhou"! Although Zhang Liang did not personally lead troops to fight, his contribution to the Han Dynasty was no less than that of Han Xin!

Although Lu Pheasant felt that it was a little pity that Han Xin was cleaned up like this, he just felt that it was a pity. The road was all chosen by herself, and it was impossible for her to help Han Xin deal with her husband. After all, Liu Bang is also old, and this country is to be left to her son, why does she have nothing to do to help people from hostile forces? Does he have a chance to threaten himself and his son in the future? If she was in Liu Bang's position today, she would not let Han Xin go.

Han Xin's matter was handed over to Liu Bang for a headache, and Lu Pheasant leisurely planned Le'er's marriage in his Changle Palace, and then thought about Ying'er's family affairs. Early that morning, she was about to go for a walk by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, when the attendants reported that Madame Qi had come to visit again.

This is the fifth day in a row that she has come, and Lu Pheasant has not seen her several times before. I didn't expect her to be quite reluctant. Lu Pheasant thought about it and asked people to let her in.

"The concubine meets the queen! Niang Chitose Chitose! "I haven't seen her for many days, and Mrs. Qi seems to be more polite. She wore a long skirt with a silver thread embroidered with a blue flower tunic, plus a smoke-blue cross-collar placket with wide sleeves, and only a silver hairpin on her head, which looked pure and elegant, but also responsible.

Lu Pheasant didn't know why she suddenly became obedient. Mrs. Qi has always liked to wear powder blue to look young, looking vibrant, and expressing the feeling of "I am young" to people anytime and anywhere. Of course, this object is mainly Lu Pheasant. Dressed so appropriately today, is it because you want something from yourself?

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Pheasant knew that Mrs. Qi's appearance must be related to Liu Bang's recent failure to enter the inner palace. She is the queen, and without being summoned by the emperor, she can also walk around and go to the imperial study and other places to see Liu Bang. But not for others. Even if Mrs. Qi is the highest-ranking woman in the harem besides herself, she can't run around. Liu Bang doesn't enter the harem, even if she has great charm, she has nowhere to go. That is, the sorrow of the harem concubines.

However, Lu Pheasant would not sympathize with her. The original owner in the previous life didn't think about shaking hands with Mrs. Qi and making peace, and her position as "lady" was still proposed by the original owner to Liu Bang and be awarded to her! But she still forced Lu Pheasant's mother and son to death step by step.

In this life, Lu Pheasant didn't care about her at all, and when Liu Bang said that he wanted to make her "Mrs.", Lu Pheasant also resigned several times on the grounds that she was too poor. In the end, she was really named "Mrs. Qi", and it was already after Liu Bang had been the emperor for more than a year. Although the relationship between the two is not good, it is not worse than in the previous life (because it has always been bad). On the contrary, because of Lu Pheasant's stable position, Mrs. Qi sometimes had to bow her "arrogant" head aggrievedly and beg Lu Pheasant for some small things.

No, she is so obedient today, doesn't she just want to find out about Liu Bang from Lu Pheasant?

"Yo! Isn't this Mrs. Qi! What the wind is blowing you! Who said that he would never step into Changle Palace again in his life? How can you forget what you said in the blink of an eye? ”

Lu Pheasant glanced at the hedge on his right hand, and the hedge understood, and sarcastically mocked Mrs. Qi.

"My sister is young and ignorant, I hope my sister will forgive me, don't be like my sister!" Mrs. Qi's face was blue and red for a while, but she still stubbornly obeyed and said softly.

Lu Pheasant sat on the couch, pretending not to hear, picked up a jade jade cup, and played with it in his hand.

"Young? Not sensible? Ouch, Mrs. Qi, it's not that the slave is not big or small, how young do you think you are? You're twenty-six, aren't you? Many women of your age have begun to think about the marriage of their children, and you still say that you are young? What is that girl who has just reached the end of her life? Qing Liang sarcastically said to her, "The sixth prince is also seven or eight years old, how can you raise a good prince if you are so 'young'?" ”

The word "young" has always been used by Mrs. Qi to satirize Lu Pheasant. Because Lu Pheasant is fifteen or sixteen years older than her, although she is indeed not a little girl, but in front of Lu Pheasant, she will always occupy the advantage of age. Today, however, it had the opposite effect.

Mrs. Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, but she had to endure it. Liu Bang hadn't been to her for a month, and she had to ask what was going on anyway. Otherwise, wouldn't she fall out of favor if she continued like this?

"Queen Mother, my sister knows that there is something absurd about her words before, and I invite you to have a lot of adults, and you don't know like me. This is my own embroidered three sachets, which contain mint, cinnamon, mugwort leaves, Shannai and other things, which can dispel filth and detoxify, clear heat and dampness, and give my sister and the prince and the eldest princess Lu Yuan one each, I hope my sister likes it! ”

Mrs. Qi held the three exquisitely embroidered sachets in both hands, smiled all over her face, and respectfully came to Lu Pheasant's side and handed it to her.

"You embroidered it all by hand?" Lu Pheasant saw Mrs. Qi holding the sachet and handed it over, her eyes instantly turned cold, and she hurriedly covered up the love in her eyes by lowering her eyes, adjusted her mood and asked.

"Yes, sister! I embroidered it with a needle and a thread, and none of the stitches were faked to others. Mrs. Qi boasted like a melon: "The one embroidered with the ruyi auspicious cloud pattern is for your sister; embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, it is for the eldest princess Lu Yuan; The one embroidered with the golden dragon pattern is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. My sister stayed up for several days and nights for these three sachets! I'm still a little sleepy! ”

"Then you're really well-intentioned!" Lu Pheasant was silent on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.

As soon as Mrs. Qi brought the three sachets closer, Lu Pheasant smelled the problem. The sachet for Le'er added musk, and it was a good quality musk. Women wear it for a long time, but it will affect fertility. The other two have concocted hyacinth petals added to them. Hyacinth flowers are beautiful, but many people don't know that they are poisonous. It can cause skin allergies, dizziness, spasms, and death due to excessive absorption. Although a small amount is not a big problem, there are many processing methods in Chinese medicine that can enhance the medicinal effect of the plant.

If it weren't for the fact that he already knew Chinese medicine very well, Mrs. Qi's three sachets would have wiped out the three of her mother and son. It's vicious! came to ask for help, and dared to secretly have this kind of thought.

Lu Pheasant pressed the anger in his heart, squeezed out a little smile on his face, and said to Mrs. Qi: "There is Sister Lao!" I like these sachets very much. Qingfeng, put away the two for Le'er and Ying'er, and go back to the two of them. I'll put this one here and put it on when I go out. ”

Qingli didn't expect that Lu Pheasant would really be bought by Mrs. Qi with these sachets, so she was stunned for a moment, but she obediently complied. Niangniang must have other intentions. Qing Fence secretly guessed in his heart.

When Mrs. Qi saw that Lu Pheasant had accepted her gift, a vicious look flashed in her eyes. Hmph, let you humiliate me! Let's see which of the two of us can have the last laugh!

On the surface, Mrs. Qi called out affectionately as "sister" and "sister" for a short time.

Lu Pheasant pretended to chat with her warmly for a while, and then said distressedly: "Alas! Recently, there has been a famine in the south, and His Majesty has been busy with state affairs in the court all day long, and I have encountered some troubles, and it is difficult to find him. ”

"What's the matter? Sister said let's listen to it, maybe my sister can help you think about it! Mrs. Qi opened her ears.

"It's not Ying'er's marriage yet! The kings of Liang, Huainan, Huaiyin, and several other princes quietly handed me messages, wanting to marry their daughters to Ying'er. Ying'er can only have one concubine, but there are more than a dozen princes staring, which one do you think I should choose for him? Lu Pheasant pretended to be distressed.
