The green grass is withered and yellow, and spring goes to autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In August of the fifth year of Jianwu (29 AD), Liu Xiu sent Taizhong Taifu to send Ma to aid the west.

On the way, Ma Yuan asked Lai Shu privately: "Do you have a good personal relationship with the Yin family?" ”

Lai Xi asked Ma Yuan: "Why do you say this?" "Little is known about his dealings with Yin Xing, and he doesn't think that his friend Ma Yuan will know about it, and he wants to be seen by his friend somewhere.

Ma Yuan said: "Your Majesty was assassinated some time ago, why did you not hesitate to offend the Marquis of Mian Barbarian to help the nobles of Yin?" With Ma Yuan's understanding of Laixi, he didn't think that Laishe, who had always been a smooth person, would act so radically for no reason. He thought about it, but he felt that Laishu might have a personal relationship with the Yin family. In his opinion, the Yin clan is a family of concubines after all, and it is not appropriate to intersect.

Lai Xi didn't sincerely want to hide it from his friends, but he just couldn't declare some thoughts, he just said: "The Yin family has a great righteousness to me, and I can't stand idly by." As for how righteous it is, I can't say what it is. ”

After Ma Yuan heard this, he finally relieved his doubts, since he couldn't say it, he believed that he couldn't say it, but as a friend, he still wanted to say: "The Yin family should not be deeply friends." ”

Lai Shi knew Ma Yuan's concerns, he smiled and said: "Your far-sighted worries can be put down, the people of the Yin clan in the dynasty today have the style of the ancestors in the past, there is no need to worry, and I have always acted in a measured manner, you just have to rest assured." If you really can't rest assured, you can come to Luoyang to be with me. ”

When Ma Yuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Let's see the timing." After this period of time in Luoyang, Ma Yuan has been deeply impressed by Liu Xiu, he thinks that Liu Xiu should be the master of the world, but he Ma Yuan has always been loyal and unswerving, and he relies on him so much that he can't turn his back. Therefore, he made up his mind and persuaded the arrogant man when he returned.

But what Ma Yuan never expected was that before he could achieve his wish, he was sent to Luoyang by Kui Huan again.

It is said that Ma Yuan returned to Longxi and entered the hustle and bustle.

Kui Huan and Ma Yuan got up together, and inquired in detail about the rumors in the East and the gains and losses of Kyoto.

Ma Yuan said to Kui Huan: "Before going to the imperial court, His Majesty introduced dozens of times, and every time he summoned and talked, from the morning to the twilight, there was no broken words. Talent is brave and strategic, beyond the reach of others. And the heart is happy to see sincerity, there is nothing to hide, and the open-minded festival is slightly the same as Gaozu. Scholarly exposition, political affairs and debate, the previous life is incomparable. ”

After hearing this, Kui Huan frowned and asked, "Tell me, how does it compare with Gaozu?" ”

Ma Yuan pondered and replied: "It's not as good as Gaozu, Gaozu is indispensable." Now Your Majesty is a good official, and there must be a law in his actions, and he does not like to drink and have fun. ”

Kui Huan listened to it, and was unhappy, he said: "As Qing said, it is better than Gaozu. ”

Soon, he came to present the seal book, and offered Kui Huan, saying that Kui Huan sent his son into the service. Kui Huan was originally hesitant about this, but when he heard that Peng Chong, Liu Yong, and Qin Feng had all been destroyed, Fang sent his eldest son Kui Sui to join the hostage, and Ma Yuan was ordered to accompany his family.

After Lai She and Ma Yuan returned to Luoyang, Liu Xiu Feng Kui was appointed as the captain of Hu Cai, and the Marquis of Qi was engraved, and Bai Lai Xi was the general of Zhonglang, and Ma Yuan did not hold a post for the time being. Why is this so? It turned out that one of them was that Yin Lihua sent lunch to Liu Xiu and no longer met Ma Yuan, and learned that Ma Yuan returned to Longxi, and was deeply sorry, because Ma Yuan Geng spoke straightforwardly to help him that day, Yin Lihua had a good impression of Ma Yuan, and then saw Ma Yuan heroic, intelligent, and humble and polite, and the words were inevitably full of appreciation, and there were many inquiries about Ma Yuan, although Yin Lihua knew that Ma Yuan took a fancy to Ma Yuan, it was for Liu Huang, but Liu Xiu was still quite appreciative in his heart, especially Yin Lihua's loss when he heard that Ma Yuan had a wife, so that Liu Xiu inevitably didn't care; Second, Liu Xiu actually admires Ma Yuan very much, but he also knows that Ma Yuan is loyal to the monarch and does not matter to the two masters, and Ma Yuan does not show his loyalty one day, so he will not reuse it; Third, there is also a sense of temptation, Liu Xiu wants to take a look at Ma Yuan's strategy.

As for Ma Yuan, he can guess a thing or two about Liu Xiu's thoughts, but he doesn't worry about it. A few months later, Ma Yuan had to write to ask for Tuntian, bluntly saying that Sanfu was open and fertile, and there were many guests this time, and he didn't know the etiquette, so he asked for this. Liu Xiu saw from this that Ma Yuan's strategy was, and granted his invitation, so that the captain of Si Li was led to Shanglin Yuan. Of course, this is an afterthought.

Having said that, five days after the return of Lai She, Kui and Ma Yuan and other guests, Yin Lihua gave birth to the sixth prince Liu Cang, which made Liu Xiu very happy, but made King Liu Yi cry sadly and shouted for Wang Mei.

Since Liu Yi and Wang Aimei, she has been shouting at Yin Lihua's stomach and calling Wang Mei, often making Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu cry and laugh because of this. Yin Lihua once asked Liu Yiwang why he was Wang Mei, and Liu Yiwang said that he liked Wang Mei, and Wang Mei could join her.

Liu Xiu saw that King Liu Yi was crying, so she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly handed Liu Cang in her arms to the grandmother on the side, bent down and picked up King Liu Yi, and coaxed King Liu Yi and said, "As long as King Yi doesn't cry, my father will soon let my mother give you a royal sister." ”

When Liu Yiwang heard this, he immediately collected his tears, looked at Liu Xiu with teary eyes and asked, "Really?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "My father never deceived the righteous king. ”

Liu Yiwang thought that Liu Xiu was telling the truth, so he stopped crying, but asked, "Is it tomorrow?" ”

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing. He thought for a moment and replied, "If you ask your mother tomorrow, your mother will tell you." ”

"Why can't you ask tomorrow, today?" Liu Yiwang can't wait now.

Liu Xiu patiently told King Liu Yi: "The mother concubine has just given birth to her younger brother, she is too tired, and she needs to rest well." We don't disturb the concubine's rest, okay? ”

Liu Yi nodded reluctantly, and then said seriously: "Brother Wang is not good at all, let the mother concubine suffer, it is better to be the princess, let the mother concubine give birth to the princess in the future." ”

Liu Xiu smiled again for this, he felt that Liu Yiwang was really cute.

Liu Yiwang saw Liu Xiu smile, thinking that Liu Xiu had the same idea as her, and he was happy.

The next day, Liu Yiwang came to Yin Lihua early in the morning and asked her if she would give birth to a royal sister today.

Yin Lihua was confused, and Xia Man on the side told him what Liu Xiu and Liu Yiwang said yesterday.

After hearing this, Yin Lihua laughed dumbly. She thought for a while and asked Liu Yiwang, "King Yi, don't you like Brother Cangwang?" Brother Cang Wang was still playing with you in his mother's belly before, and he likes you. ”

Liu Cang is the quietest child Yin Lihua has conceived so far, rarely moving, and Liu Cang's first fetal movement happened to Liu Yiwang. At that time, Yin Lihua told Liu Yiwang that it was Brother Wang who was playing with her and liked her. Liu Yiwang believed it to be true, and since then, he has fallen in love with touching Yin Lihua's belly. And Liu Cang basically

King Liu Yi heard Yin Lihua say this, thought about it, and replied: "Erchen likes Brother Cangwang, but Erchen wants Sister Wang." ”

Yin Lihua said with a smile: "But Sister Wang will not have it until Brother Cangwang can walk." Otherwise, King Yi and Brother Yang will go to see Brother Cangwang more in the future, and see when Brother Cangwang will learn to walk, you will come and tell the concubine, and the concubine will give you a royal sister, okay? ”

Liu Yiwang nodded. Since then, Liu Yiwang has been running almost every day to ask Liu Cang, the mother who took care of Liu Cang, if Liu Cang can walk, and every time he is full of hope, but he returns disappointed. Even if Yin Lihua was pregnant again, she still persevered like this, making Yin Lihua cry and laugh and feel a great responsibility.

For Yin Lihua to have a prince again, except for Guo Shengtong and his henchmen who were unhappy, the palace was full of joy, after all, they were rewarded.

Guo Shengtong thought that Yin Lihua was her chance during pregnancy, but even if she blocked the knife for Liu Xiu, her posture was better than before, and she couldn't get along with Liu Xiuyan as she wished, and now it's not that she doesn't want to give birth, but she can't give birth at all. Seeing that Yin Lihua gave birth to another prince, she thought that if she continued like this, the prince and princess born by Yin Lihua would surpass her and lose her balance. For this reason, she deliberately created an atmosphere in order to achieve things, but she still failed to achieve her wishes. In the end, Guo Shengtong had to rely on foreign objects, which became a good thing, but fortunately, Liu Xiu didn't go often, and the dosage was not much, which did not arouse suspicion, and finally let her get pregnant again in front of Yin Lihua.

And it was Guo Shengtong who was pregnant, which finally made Liu Xiu suspicious. Liu Xiuzai is now interested in Yin Lihua, but he has no desire for Guo Shengtong and the three beauties. Guo Shengtong's pregnancy reminded him of the few nights he spent in Changqiu Palace recently, and he found that his desire for Guo Shengtong was a little strange, normally speaking, he had no desire for Guo Shengtong, after all, Guo Shengtong's current body was not even comparable to those three beauties. Liu Xiu thought about it seriously, and he felt that it was related to the incense that Guo Shengtong exchanged. For this reason, he specially asked Pinsu to secretly take some out to ask Dendrobium wood, and the result made Liu Xiu even more dislike Guo Shengtong, and the number of times he went to Changqiu Palace was even less pitiful.

Originally, Guo Shengtong noticed that Liu Kang's incident was related to Liu Xiu, so she loved Liu Kang like a treasure, and Guo Shengtong blocked the knife for Liu Xiu, which made Liu Xiu's attitude ease slightly. Unexpectedly, some things were still known to Liu Xiu, which made Guo Shengtong's previous efforts in vain.

Not long after Guo Shengtong sent out the pregnancy letter, Yin Lihua also sent out the pregnancy letter.

Liu Xiu couldn't help but secretly wonder: Why is it so fast? Liu Xiu asked Wanfu a question in annoyance, and the answer made him happy.
