"Mrs. Liu," Gan Qian smiled at Yuan Shao's wife, and bowed: "I take the liberty to visit, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"You, you ......" Facing the hateful murderer who forced her husband to death and occupied their family's territory, Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak, she gasped for breath, and a gray-faced girl next to her reluctantly patted her on the back.

Fa Zheng noticed the girl: "You ......"

The girl choked him angrily: "What are you! ”

Fazheng: ......

"Mi'er, don't be rude!" Mrs. Liu whispered, "You go down." ”

The girl let out an indifferent "oh" and turned away without any nostalgia.

When passing by Fa Zheng's side, the girl was grabbed by Fa Zhengyi, who was rarely quick-eyed, and in the face of the girl's cold gaze, Fa Zheng took out a handkerchief and stammered and handed it to her: "Aunt, girl, your face is full of ashes, wipe, rub?" ”

Gan Qian noticed that when Fa Zheng handed the handkerchief to the girl, Mrs. Liu's whole body froze.

The girl snatched the handkerchief and wiped it on her face, she looked at the white handkerchief that was dirty, raised her head and asked Fazheng, "Is it clean?" ”

Fa Zheng looked at the girl blankly, without saying a word.

"Hey, are you stupid?" The girl raised her hand and shook it in front of Fa Zheng's eyes.

Gan Qian took out a new handkerchief from her sleeve, she walked up to the girl, leaned down slightly and looked at her: "I'll help you?" ”

The girl had a good impression of the gentle and bright Gan Qian, she nodded, and took the initiative to raise her face to look at Gan Qian.

Gan Qian gently pinched the girl's chin, held a handkerchief in the other hand, and seriously helped her wipe off the incense ash on her face.

"It's okay," Gan Qian patted the girl's head: "It's a little beauty." ”

"You're good-looking, too," the girl winked, "what do you do?" Why did you come here with them? ”

"Because it's under my control now." Gan Qian smiled slightly.

Gan Qian did not exaggerate. After staying with Zhao Yun in Youzhou for so long, although Gan Qian still doesn't understand political affairs, she is very good at handling logistics, she is also a person who has followed Cai Yan to the battlefield, and her psychological quality is very strong, coupled with the influence of Shen Xian, Cai Yan and Diao Chan and others, Zhao Yun did not detain Gan Qian in the back house all the time, but took her with her wherever she went, as long as it was something that Gan Qian could do, Zhao Yun would rest assured that she would deal with it.

After hearing this, a look of envy appeared on the girl's face, and she muttered in a low voice, "Really? But you're a woman like me. ”

"So what?" Gan Qian couldn't help but touch the girl's head, and she said softly: "Our lord is also a woman." ”

The girl secretly looked back at Mrs. Liu, who was pale, pulled Gan Qian's sleeve and dragged her back, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Then can I be like you in the future?" ”

"It depends on what you're going to do." Gan Qian thought for a while: "When you go to Chang'an, you can recommend yourself to our lord." ”

"Can you take me with you, then?" The girl held Gan Qian's hand, and an expectant look appeared on her face: "I don't want to go all the way with them......"

The girl told Gan Qian about her life experience, her name is Zhen Mi, she was born in a family of eunuchs, her family is well-off, but her father died early, and her brother is in charge of the family, when she was fourteen years old, her brother married her to Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi as his wife, despite her opposition.

"I haven't seen Yuan Xianyi again, and I don't like him, why should I marry him!" Zhen Mi said indignantly: "My mother-in-law doesn't like me very much......"

Although Zhen Mi's voice was low, Mrs. Liu still heard it clearly, and she was about to faint from this deviant daughter-in-law.

However, with Shen Xian's benchmark in front of her, and Gan Qian herself was almost forcibly married to someone she didn't like, she didn't think Zhen Mi was so shocking, and she felt a little more pity for her in her heart.

But Zhen Mi is married after all, although Yuan Xi escaped, Mrs. Liu is still Zhen Mi's mother-in-law, and Gan Qian can't take them away directly.

"Take her, take her!" Fa Zheng came over and looked at Gan Qian expectantly: "The lord said that everyone is responsible for caring for women. ”

Zhao Yun: ......

Cao Ang: ......

Gan Qian: ...... What's your business!

Gan Qian looked at Zhao Yun pleadingly.

Zhao Yun smiled softly at Gan Qian: "I think you are quite close to Miss Zhen, why don't you recognize her as your sister and be your companion?" ”

Zhen Mi's eyes rolled, and she immediately grabbed Gan Qian's sleeve and called sweetly: "Sister! ”

Fa Zheng stared at Zhen Mi, and when he heard Zhen Mi call his sister, he didn't want to blurt out: "Hey! ”

Zhen Mi: ......

What's wrong with this man!

Zhao Yun grabbed Fa Zheng's collar and silently dragged him out of the door.

"I'm sorry Gongzi Cao," Gan Qian sighed and said to Cao Ang, "I'm going to make you laugh." ”

"It's okay," Cao Ang's gaze swept over Zhen Mi quietly, and he smiled at Gan Qian: "Maybe smart strategists have this kind of common problem, and our family drama Mr. is sometimes very ......" unreliable.

Several people tossed in Yecheng for more than a few months, and the Spring Festival was spent in Jizhou. At the beginning of spring of the following year, Zhou Yu and Cao Cao, who had gone to pacify other troublemaking counties, finally returned, and at the same time, Shen Xian's letter was also delivered to Gan Qian in Yecheng.

"The lord summoned us back," Gan Qian's eyes couldn't hide the excitement, she handed the letter to Zhou Yu, who was dressed in dust: "She's going to ascend the throne." ”

Zhou Yu was stunned, he slowly took the letter, read it slowly for a long time, and exhaled softly: "Really...... Pretty good. ”

"The third sister actually agreed?" Sun Ce leaned over to Zhou Yu and looked down at the letter by his hand, his face was full of disbelief: "Tsk, she didn't mean ......"

Without waiting for Zhou Yu to glare at him, Sun Ce took the initiative to shut his mouth, he pulled the letter out of Zhou Yu's hand, frowned and whispered: "The third sister made the son of the former emperor the crown prince?!" ”

Concubine Dong gave birth to a white and chubby healthy son, and after the news came out, the whole country celebrated, and Chang'an swept away the gloomy atmosphere before, completely shrouded in a sea of joy.

In this good time, Yang Sikong took the opportunity to talk about the cliché and once again proposed to let Shen Xian fulfill the edict and succeed to the throne as soon as possible.

Yang Sikong just habitually mentioned it, after all, he had been worrying about this matter for more than a year, and he didn't have much expectation for Shen Xian to agree, but what he didn't expect was that just after Yang Sikong's voice fell, Shen Xian actually said lightly: "Okay." ”

Yang Sikong was stunned, and the rest of the ministers who followed were stunned, and Concubine Dong, who was sitting behind the screen with the prince in her arms, bit a mouthful of silver teeth, if it wasn't for Diao Chan to take the prince out of her arms in time, she could strangle the newborn to death with her strong hands.

"This is the luck of the Han family!"

Yang Sikong was stunned and immediately took the lead in bowing to Shen Xian, although he didn't understand why Shen Xian agreed to ascend the throne now, but as long as Shen Xian was willing to succeed to the throne, his heart could be completely put down. As for whether Shen Xian will do anything in the future, after this year's battle of wits and courage, Yang Sikong also figured it out, and the future will be left to the children to worry about, he is already very old, and he can't stand the toss anymore.

Diao Chan motioned to the palace maids on both sides to hold down Concubine Dong and tell her not to move or speak, while she walked out from behind the screen with the prince's swaddling clothes in her arms and handed the prince to Shen Xian respectfully.

"But I have a request," Shen Xian skillfully coaxed the little prince: "I want to adopt him." ”

Under Yang Sikong's surprised gaze, Shen Xian said lightly: "After I ascend the throne...... He is the crown prince. ”

"Are you going to adopt him?" Shen Xian put the little prince on Fu Shou's bed.

"No, I'm soft-hearted, I'm afraid that I will develop feelings, and I can't bear to see you do it in the future," Fu Shou said very bluntly, she only glanced at the little prince and then turned her head, and continued to teach Liu Xi, who was almost two years old, to read the Book of Poetry seriously: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good......"

"It's as if I'm going to do something to him," Shen Xian was speechless and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a good person anyway." ”

Liu Xi looked up at her with the hem of Fu Shou's clothes, she patiently waited for Fu Shou to finish reading a paragraph, and then stumbled and said, "Quack coo......"

Shen Xian couldn't hold back, holding her stomach and laughing. Fu Shou and Liu Xi looked at her condemningly at the same time.

"I'm sorry," Shen Xian walked over and bent down to pick up Liu Xi, let her sit on her lap, pointed at the tip of her nose and asked, "What will Xiao Xi say?" ”

"Eat." Liu Xi blinked his eyes and said, "I'm hungry." ”

Fu Shou: "...... Don't believe her, I just fed her, she is just hungry, and she has to eat that piece of osmanthus cake. ”

"I know," Shen Xian smiled: "Xiaoxi, you have to listen to your godmother." ”

"Mother," Liu Xi firmly held Shen Xian's sleeve: "I want to eat." ”

Shen Xian: ......

Shen Xian took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Fu Shou.

"No," Fu Shou was particularly indifferent: "You can't indulge her, it won't be easy to manage in the future!" ”

At the insistence of the majestic Empress Dowager Fu, Shen Xian and Liu Xi hugged each other aggrievedly for a piece of osmanthus cake.

Shen Xian thought to herself: My daughter is so cute, I can't hold it anymore......

"Baby, what name do you like?" Shen Xian remembered something, she asked Diao Chan to push out the screen embroidered with the map, hugged Liu Xi and walked to the screen and whispered: "Come, take a look, pick any one?" ”

Fu Shou understood that Shen Xian was going to choose a title for Liu Xi, and she also approached with interest.

Liu Xi stared at it seriously for a long time with wide eyes, and raised his hand to point at Chang'an City: "This!" ”

Fu Shou smiled: "Little girl, you are really good at picking." ”

"Baby," Shen Xian said half-truthfully, "Change places, not here." ”

Liu Xi stiffened her neck and refused to choose again, she patted Shen Xian's shoulders with both hands lightly and coquettishly to her: "I want it, I want it!" ”

"Not changing?" Shen Xian scratched Liu Xi's chin.

Liu Xi nodded seriously.

"Okay," Shen Xian kissed Liu Xi's cheek, and she laughed in a low voice, "Princess Chang'an...... I Chang'an. ”

The day before Shen Xian ascended the throne, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce finally rushed back to Chang'an City.

Seeing these two brothers again after a year, Shen Xian was in a trance for a moment, and then slowly smiled: "Brother, you have been walking long enough this time, and you haven't come back for the New Year, you miss me to death." ”

"Because I'm in a hurry to give you a big gift," Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and rubbed Shen Xian's hair, and said in a gentle voice: "You, Ji and Hebei have been leveled, and I have left some old troops to guard in Yecheng Town." Yuan Benchu's family has been escorted back, oh, by the way, I think there is something I should tell you, Gan Qian'er and Yuan Xianyi's wife saw each other right, the two became sworn sisters, and the little girl let Gan Qian bring it back alone. ”

There is also Fa Xiaozhi who chases after him every day to offer courtesy, and he has no face to look at.

Zhou Yu sighed.

Shen Xian was dazed by Zhou Yu's words, and she grabbed Zhou Yu's sleeve: "Brother, wait, who is Yuan Xianyi?" Who is his wife? ”

"Yuan Benchu's second son," Zhou Yu said, "his wife seems to be called ...... Zhen what. ”

Shen Xian: "...... Zhen Mi? ”

"Yes," Zhou Yu nodded, very puzzled: "How do you know?" ”

"Because she's good-looking!" Shen Xian was very excited: "Don't you know? Hebei Zhen Mi, Jiangnan Erqiao, very famous! ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Qiao is still your wife, and she has not seen a shadow so far, maybe she will marry someone else a long time ago. Thinking of this, Shen Xian looked at Zhou Yu sympathetically.

As soon as he heard the word "good-looking", Zhou Yu understood, he shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart that the third sister's problem of liking to see beauties has not changed, and I don't know if Jia Wenhe has succeeded in marrying Diao Chan from her.

When Shen Xian and Zhou Yu were chatting, Sun Ce picked up Liu Xi, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and kissed her: "Xiaoxi, remember me!" ”

Liu Xi stared at Sun Ce with round eyes for a long time, and shook his head ignorantly under his expectant gaze: "I don't remember." ”

Sun Ce: ...... My heart hurts.

"I'm your uncle!" Sun Ce gently pinched Liu Xi's little face: "Come, call uncle, uncle will take you to eat delicious food." ”

Liu Xi began to be at a loss by a bunch of "uncles", but she understood the last sentence "eat delicious", so her eyes instantly lit up, and she said sweetly: "Uncle!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Xi also kissed Sun Ce and gave him a fragrant kiss.

Sun Ce's face was full of joy, and he ran to buy food with Liu Xi in his arms, and after Shen Xian remembered this stubble, Liu Xi and Sun Ce had already nibbled on several snacks in the city.

Facing Liu Xi and Sun Ce, who were looking at her with the same innocent expressions, Shen Xian said with a headache: "Go, go, carry your Guan Ju!" Your godmother's side has to be blamed by me! ”

That night, Shen Xian held a banquet in the palace and invited those Wenchen generals who accompanied her to fight the world, and after the meal was arranged, she didn't say a word, and went down with three glasses of wine first.

Shaking the empty wine glass, Shen Xian smiled: "I won't talk nonsense, let's drink it all." ”

"Good!" Guo Jia took the lead in responding to the peace, and under the gaze of Xun You's caring idiot, he drank three glasses with Shen Xian.

"Press him," Shen Xian held her cheek with one hand, pointed at Guo Jia with the other, and smiled at Xun You, who was sitting next to him, "Just give him these three cups!" ”

"Fengxiao should drink tea honestly," Jia Xu didn't know where to find a set of tea sets, and personally rolled up his sleeves to make tea for him: "Drink tea to maintain health." ”

"you," Guo Jia had a headache when he saw the tea, and he hid beside Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo......"

"Coptis chinensis," Xun Yu took out a beautifully decorated small box from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Guo Jia, he smiled slightly: "Do you want it?" ”

Guo Jia: ...... You've all gone bad!

Gan Ning, who hadn't seen him for a long time, dragged Zhang Xiu to cry to him about his old-fashioned and unlucky marriage, Gan Ning may have been drunk, and dragged Zhang Xiu to prevent him from leaving, Zhang Xiu looked loveless.

Shen Xian walked over: "What are you talking about?" ”

"The girl who said that he was divorced was not the one he fell in love with at first sight," Zhang Xiu pushed Gan Ning, who was leaning on his shoulder, to the side, and said expressionlessly: "The person he fell in love with at first sight was Ling Gongji." ”

Ling Tong and the little girl of the Wang family are childhood sweethearts, he followed his father to find Boss Wang, and when he was playing in the yard, he was recognized by Gan Ning, a ruffian.

Shen Xian: ...... I knew it!

"I'm blind!" Gan Ning cried.

Shen Xian touched Gan Ning's head lovingly: "Well, you finally realized, I told you a long time ago, you don't believe it." ”

Gan Ning cried and cried and fell asleep on the table, and when he died, he still held Zhang Xiu's arm and didn't let go.

"Lord!" Zhang Xiu stared at Shen Xian forgedly.

Shen Xian looked helpless: "Colleagues, you should help each other, you see him so sad, comfort him." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Xiu to protest, Shen Xian ran away.

When the banquet was held at the back, everyone was drunk, and Shen Xian left this group of demons dancing wildly, and slipped to the edge of the Taiye Pool alone, and sobered up on the railing.

Guo Jia didn't know when he touched it, he hugged Shen Xian's waist from behind, pressed his chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Lord." ”

"Aren't you drunk?" Shen Xian poked Guo Jia's face: "To be honest, how much alcohol do you have?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a while: "A thousand cups are not drunk? ”

Shen Xian sneered.

"Hmm...... But if you feed me a drink, I'll get drunk. Guo Jia chuckled lowly.

Shen Xian said softly: "I will be the emperor tomorrow, it feels like a dream." ”

It's really a dream, from the official of a county to the lord of a state over the years, and then pacify the south, occupy Chang'an, and unify the world...... Shen Xian felt as if she hadn't woken up, and she involuntarily held Guo Jia's hand.

Guo Jia said helplessly: "I'm dreaming, right?" ”

"Don't be," Shen Xian turned around in Guo Jia's arms, she leaned her back against the railing, and faced Guo Jia: "I made the son of the former emperor the crown prince." ”

Guo Jia nodded.

Shen Xian took a deep breath: "Xiaoxi ......"

Guo Jia stretched out his index finger and lightly touched Shen Xian's lips, sealing what she wanted to say.

"Xiaoxi's world, let her take it herself," Guo Jia smiled softly: "Believe her, that's your daughter." ”

"Of course, she is still your daughter," Shen Xian glanced at Guo Jia: "When she becomes the emperor, I will be completely liberated, do you have any place you want to go?" ”

Guo Jia thought about it and was not very happy: "How young is that?" ”

"Why don't you have to wait for her to grow up?" Shen Xian blinked: "Eighteen years? ”

Guo Jia said that there is nothing to love in life.

Shen Xian decided to subtract down: "Sixteen? ”

Guo Jia didn't want to speak.

"It can't be any lower!" Shen Xian hugged Guo Jia's face: "That's your daughter!" Do you want to watch a fourteen-year-old girl being bullied by the Manchu Dynasty? ”

"With her eldest and second uncles here, I don't think she will be bullied." Guo Jia said sourly: "It's me, I'm going to follow you for more than ten years." ”

"Then ......" Shen Xian stood on tiptoe and licked Guo Jia's lips: "Make you a queen?" ”

Guo Jia picked up Shen Xian and walked towards the water pavilion by the pool, and he said as he walked: "Your Majesty, the concubine should do something that the queen should do first." ”

"Queen, you have gone crookedly, and you are going to fall into the pool...... Feed! Guo Fengxiao! Look at the road! ”

After Shen Xian and Guo Jia left, Diao Chan lazily turned out of the forest, followed by Jia Xu with a serious face.

"What a system!" Jia Xu said solemnly: "This Guo Fengxiao dares to be so presumptuous in the palace!" ”

"He has more places to be presumptuous," Diao Chan glanced at Jia Xu lightly: "You are in charge?" ”

Jia Xu coughed and shut up.

After a while, Jia Xu spoke again: "Miss Ren......"

"Is the matchmaker ready?" Diao Chan suddenly asked, "I waited for three days, and there was no movement at all." ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "I'll let him come to the door tomorrow!" ”

Diao Chan smiled: "Tomorrow the lord will ascend the throne, you are stupid." ”

The first time I saw Jia Xu who was so slow to react, Diao Chan felt quite interesting, and she continued to tease: "The lord said that she prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts for me, how much dowry do you give me?" ”

Thinking of Shen Xian's arrogance, Jia Xu was silent.

Diao Chan burst out laughing, she looked at Jia Xu's eyes, and said seriously: "You're okay." ”

Jia Xu understood what Diao Chan meant, she liked Lu Bu so hard before, but Lu Bu left her alone.

"Don't worry," Jia Xu slowly raised his hand and helped Diao Chan comb the wind-blown broken hair on her forehead: "I must live longer than you." ”

Diao Chan smiled slightly: "That's good." ”

At the end of a banquet, the only ones who were sober were the Xun brothers.

Without changing his face, he kicked away Fa Zheng, who was sleeping happily on his lap, Xun Yu took the apricot blossom wine that Xun Chen had poured and lowered his head to take a sip. He sighed: "The lord doesn't know where he went......"

"Guo Fengxiao is also gone." Xun Chen whispered.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about this kind of thing," Xun Yu shook his head: "Aren't Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhou going to Chang'an City tomorrow?" ”

Thinking of Mrs. Wu, who acted decisively and coolly in Xun You's mouth, Xun Chen silently lit a candle for Guo Jia.

"Since the lord is not free today," Xun Yu pulled the small box containing Coptis chinensis that had scared Guo Jia before in front of him, he raised his hand and slowly opened the lid: "I'll give it to her tomorrow for this thing." ”

The heirloom jade seal lay quietly on the cushion of soft yellow satin, emitting a layer of misty soft light in the moonlight.

The breeze blew through the corridor, carrying the dead branches and leaves left by Chen Dong all the way to the edge of the pool, blowing them all into the pool. Under the swing frame by the water pavilion, a few clusters of newly sprouted green buds are exuding vitality, indicating the coming spring.
