With the expiration of the filial piety period, the princes and princes returned to the feudal kingdom one after another, but the king of Huainan was the only one, because of the queen mother, Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, stayed in the capital. After all, Liu Ling is a woman, and Liu Che didn't pay attention to this matter, just thought that the queen mother liked it, so she followed her wishes.

But Liu Ling didn't think so. Since she met Liu Che in Changle Palace, her original intention of staying in the capital was not only to help Liu An find out information and contact various forces, but a bolder idea had been circling in her mind for a long time, that is, to make the current emperor her minister.

Just imagine, if she becomes her guest today, then whether Huainan Guo is doing anything or not will become insignificant, after all, at that time, with her relationship with the emperor, Huainan will not be just a small place in a corner of peace. If... Her stomach is a little more angry, Queen... Prince, it's not impossible, after all, there is no child in the East Palace at the moment, who knows that the position of the prince will not fall on her Liu Ling in the future?

With these new ideas, Liu Ling began to plan for the next step.

"Your Majesty, Luo Ying, the king of Minyue, raised troops to attack Nanyue, and the king of Nanyue sent an envoy to Beijing for help. In the Xuanshu Palace, hundreds of officials are in the palace, Liu Che wears a crown and sits on the top of the Golden Palace, since the death of the old Empress Dowager Dou, he finally has the true and supreme respect of the Son of Heaven, Shang Shuling bowed down and presented the wooden slab.

The waiter on the side took the piece and presented it to the long case in front of Liu Che. Liu Che opened it and saw that Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, said on the scroll that Minyue and Nanyue were both subject states of the Han Dynasty and should not attack each other.

Liu Che couldn't help but be very satisfied with the attitude of the king of Nanyue after reading the case, and immediately ordered troops to attack Minyue from Yuzhang and Huiji to aid Nanyue.

"Aunt Caixi, why hasn't my father come yet?" In the Zhaoyang Palace, a little man combed two horns, flashed a pair of big watery eyes, looked at Cai Xi and asked.

Cai Xi smiled and said: "Eldest princess, Your Majesty is discussing state affairs in the front hall, and when Your Majesty comes down to the court, he will naturally come to see the eldest princess." ”

"Oh... All right! The little man blinked his big eyes as if he didn't understand, pouted and lowered his head.

"Does Jue'er miss her father?" A voice came from outside the hall, and the little man's eyes immediately brightened, and he ran towards the voice, shouting happily: "Father! ”

"Oh, my good Jue'er!" Liu Che picked up the villain and leaned on his face affectionately, "Come, kiss my father!" ”

Liu Jue pursed his pink mouth and lightly tapped on Liu Che's face, Liu Che was very happy, pointed to the other cheek and said, "Jue'er is so good!" Come, kiss your father again! ”

"Haha! I don't! Liu Jue squinted his eyes with a smile and covered his little mouth with his little hand.

"Haha, why doesn't Jue'er want to kiss her father again?" Liu Che asked with a smile. Liu Jue chuckled, "My father has a beard on his face, so Jue'er doesn't kiss!" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Che deliberately put his beard against her tender little face, and teased affectionately: "Kiss or not?" Kiss or not? Hahaha! Liu Jue was itchy and painful from his beard, giggling and chuckling.

"The slave has seen Your Majesty!" Cai Xi chased after him from behind and bowed to Liu Che.

Liu Che put the villain down on the ground and waved his hand: "No courtesy!" What about Mrs. Wei? ”

Not far away, Wei Zifu stepped forward, only to see her eyes swept her eyebrows with spring water, which added a little more charm than when she was not a wife, and saw Liu Che bowed down and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Mother!" Liu Jue ran to Wei Zifu's side, the little man snuggled her affectionately, Wei Zifu caressed Liu Jue, and said softly: "Jue'er, you have to be respectful to your father, how can you make such a fuss?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard Jue'er and Your Majesty frolicking inside, and the concubine was not strict in discipline, please punish Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu said respectfully.

"It's okay!" Liu Che stopped with a smile and said, "Jue'er is still young, if she doesn't frolic with me, won't I have a lot less family fun?" ”

Wei Zifu smiled: "Your Majesty said yes, but don't get used to her too much." ”

"I only have one child, who else can I get used to if I don't get used to her?" Liu Che looked at Liu Jue with his eyebrows, now he is the emperor in his hands, and he is the real son of heaven in the Han Dynasty, but he has only one eldest princess Liu Jue in his bloodline, how can he not collect thousands of favors in her?

"The concubine can't say anything about Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu smiled and said to Cai Xi: "Take the eldest princess to the side hall to play first." ”

Cai Xi smiled and promised, walked over and held Liu Jue's little hand, Liu Jue raised his little head and said in a childish voice: "Father, you will come over to accompany Jue'er in a while!" ”

Liu Che smiled: "Okay, my father will go over later!" When the little man heard this, he jumped up and down, and went to the side hall with Caixi.

Looking at the back of the villain, Liu Che retracted his gaze, sat down and said, "What is the son doing in the inner hall?" ”

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "It will be autumn in a few days, the concubine will make a few clothes for Wei Qing, and the autumn clothes on his body are still made for him by the concubine a few years ago!" ”

"Time is really fast, it's almost autumn again!" Liu Che nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyes and said: "Son, I heard Han Yan say that Wei Qing is quite talented in military affairs, and I have already pointed out a famous teacher and a good student to teach him, and the next time he enters the palace, you tell him, if you have any needs, just mention it to me!" ”

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty! Wei Zifu thanked, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could Wei Qing come today, the concubine thanked Your Majesty for Wei Qing!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Liu Che said with a smile, "You are in the same breath as me, and I should be like this!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu suddenly had a shy face, and said politely: "The concubine has another happy event to inform Your Majesty!" ”

"Happy event?" Liu Che's eyebrows moved, and he asked eagerly, "Is it so?" ”

"Hmm..."Wei Zifu nodded shyly, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been pregnant for more than a month. ”

Liu Che was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

"Yesterday, the imperial doctor has diagnosed the pulse, and it should be certain." Wei Zifu replied.

"Great, great!" Liu Che couldn't help but speak, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "For so many years, my harem has not come out, and you not only gave birth to the eldest princess of my Han Dynasty, but also brought me a second child, I am so happy!" ”

"I want to reward you, I must reward you well!" Liu Chexi didn't know what to say, he grabbed Wei Zifu's hand and instructed: "Zifu, in the future, you will hand over all the big and small things in this palace to the people below, as long as you give birth to a prince in peace, you will be a great contribution!" ”

Wei Zifu snorted and said: "Your Majesty, the son-in-law is not so pampered, Your Majesty cherishes the son-in-law so much, the son-in-law is already satisfied." ”

Liu Che smiled in his eyes and said softly: "It's better to be careful!" ”

"Okay." Wei Zifu smiled softly and nodded in response.

"Your Majesty, do you remember Tian Meiren in the Pick-Fang Palace?" Wei Zifu suddenly asked.

"You mean the concubine of the first emperor, Tian Meiren of the Fang Palace?" Liu Che's mind quickly recalled, "I remember, when you left the palace, it was this Tian Meiren who agreed, right?" Thinking of the past, Liu Che had some impressions.

"Yes." Wei Zifu nodded and said, "If it wasn't for Tian Meiren and Aunt Shu to take care of him back then, why would Zifu be here today?" ”

Thinking of the past in the Chufang Palace, Wei Zifu stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist and sighed: "This jade bracelet was still given by Tian Meiren when the son was pregnant with Yu, some time ago, the concubine went to the Chufang Hall to visit Tian Meiren, and listened to her aunt's words, the lady's health is getting worse and worse, and people are more and more missing their homeland." The concubine couldn't bear it, so she asked His Majesty to read that the lady was kind to the concubine and Jue'er, so that she could return to her homeland for the rest of her life. After that, he got up and bowed to Liu Cheyingying.

Liu Che hurriedly supported his husband and said, "Tian Meiren is kind to you and Jue'er, and she is kind to me, and I will definitely agree to this matter!" After a few days, Tian Mei was weak and sick, and Teen allowed her to return to her hometown. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu was overjoyed in his heart, and said happily: "If the beauty learns that His Majesty treats her so kindly, she will be grateful!" ”

Liu Che hugged Wei Zifu and said softly: "No need to be grateful, everything I do is for you!" Wei Zifu's heart warmed, and he leaned on Liu Che's pulse and was silent.

-----

Soon after, Tian Meiren received an edict and allowed him to return to the Qi State, Tian Meiren thanked the emperor for his kindness, and was grateful to Wei Zifu in his heart.

The day of leaving the palace soon came, and the carriage was waiting outside the palace gate early in the morning, Tian Meiren took off her palace clothes and only wore a simple curved robe, although her face was faintly eyebrows, but it was a vitality that could not be hidden.

"Zifu, thank you for interceding for me in front of Your Majesty, since I entered the palace, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to return to Qidi in this life, kindness is in my heart, and I will never forget it!" Tian Meiren bowed down after saying that.

Wei Zifu hurriedly helped up and said: "The lady is serious, how can the husband not receive the favor of the lady and the aunt, although the lady returns to the hometown, although I am very happy in my heart, I am also very reluctant, today a farewell, I don't know when we can meet, and I hope the lady will cherish more!" ”

Tian Meiren's eyes turned red, and she held Wei Zifu's hand and said, "Well, you are the same, I hope that God will have mercy, and you and I will see each other one day." ”

Wei Zifu had tears in his eyes and bowed slightly, looked at Tian Meiren and Shu Yu and said movingly: "I hope we will meet for a while, lady, aunt, you cherish all the way!" ”

"Son-in-law, there is a time to meet, cherish!" Shu Yuyan's eyes are also red for most of the time, although it is a happy event to be able to leave the palace, but everyone understands that after this farewell, there will almost never be a day to see each other again in this life, but things in the world are like this, even if they are as expensive as the emperor, how can they ever have real consummation.

Tian Meiren wiped away her tears and said softly: "Zifu, I know that Your Majesty treats you very well, but you are in the palace, you still have to be more careful!" ”

Wei Zifu nodded and said, "The words of the lady, the husband should keep it in mind." On the side, Cai Xi handed over a burden and reminded: "Madam, there is this." ”

Wei Zifu wiped away the tears, took the burden and said: "I just took care of the sadness but forgot that there is this, lady, you must get silver money when you go out of the palace gate, here are some jewelry and silver taels, you and your aunt will use it in the future." ”

Tian Meiren hurriedly pushed the burden handed over by Wei Zifu, and said lightly: "I can't do it!" My aunt and I will go to Qidi in a while, and my mother's family will take care of it, and you don't need to spend silver taels, so you can take it back. ”

Wei Zifu pushed the burden over again, and said: "The lady has been in the palace for many years, and this time she has returned to her hometown. ”

Tian Meiren finally resisted her, but after a few pushes, she still accepted the burden. Seeing that the time is not early, and then I am reluctant to part, "Son, cherish!" Tian Meiren and Shu Yu boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain and waved goodbye.

"Drive!" The coachman shouted, and the horse ran on all four legs towards the East Market.

"Lady, aunt, cherish!" Wei Zifu waved vigorously at the carriage, and the carriage outside the palace gate traveled farther and farther until it disappeared. The heavy palace door slowly closed, and from then on, there were two worlds inside and outside the palace.
