"Your Majesty! Gaozu Baideng's siege endured humiliation and kiss, after which my Han paid tribute to the Xiongnu every year, but Emperor Wen suddenly invaded the land of my Hetao in the third year of the Xiongnu, the Hu people so repeatedly, this time to invite the matter of harmony, Your Majesty should be cautious! "Wang Hui, who is in charge of the imperial court's affairs with the subject countries, still has words in his ears.

"Your Majesty! Now the Huns are strong and strong, if the court does not agree to make peace, it will inevitably anger the Huns, the Huns from the north, Shangjun gallop Chang'an less than a thousand miles, and the Hun cavalry only need to gallop for a day or two to arrive, by then I am worried about Kyoto, Your Majesty, please be careful! Imperial Doctor Han Anguo retorted.

"Your Majesty, if you refuse to make peace with the Huns, our army can take the initiative to attack the Hu people, how can you let the Huns come and go freely?" When Wang Hui heard this, he argued on the basis of reason and spoke generously.

"Your Majesty, our army is running thousands of miles, the men are tired, and the Huns are waiting with all their might. The minister heard that the extreme arrow of the strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Min, and the last force of the wind cannot float the feathers, and the end of the force is weak! Therefore, sending troops to attack the Xiongnu is really not good for our dynasty, and please continue your majesty's policy of harmony! Han Anguo carefully analyzed the pros and cons of current affairs and said.

The two courtiers each based on one side, not giving an inch, most of the ministers in the court discussion also echoed Han Anguo, although Liu Che hated the Xiongnu very much in his heart, but what Han Anguo said was also the truth after all, with the strength of the imperial court, it is indeed difficult to fight against the Xiongnu at present, and it is difficult to make a choice for a while.

"Your Majesty..."The smug whisper of the close attendant Yang pulled Liu Che back to his eyes, "What's the matter?" Liu Che rubbed his forehead and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner!" Yang proudly reminded in a low voice.

"Oh..." Liu Che unconsciously looked out the window, and sure enough, it was already meal time.

"Where is Your Majesty eating today?" Yang said proudly and bowed respectfully.

Liu Che pondered for a moment and said, "It's right here." ”

"No!" Yang complimented and bowed back. Liu Che got up and walked to the window, and looked at it, only to see that the afterglow of the sunset had already covered the sky, and the clouds were gone, and he was thoughtful.

"Well, where is Your Majesty having dinner?" In the Jiaofang Palace, Gillian asked the palace maid who went to the front hall to inquire.

The palace people replied cautiously: "Back to the queen, Your Majesty's imperial chariot has not moved in the Chengming Palace. ”

"So, Your Majesty didn't go to Zhaoyang Palace..."Gillian muttered to herself, and then waved her hand to the palace people, "You go down!" ”

The scene of the day became clear again in Gillian's mind.

"Some time ago, Ri Ling'er made the queen unhappy, and she has been blaming herself since she went back, so I came to ask the queen today, how is the queen's phoenix body?" Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, asked respectfully.

Since the last Chunhua reminder, Gillian has added a layer of caution to Liu Ling, and said indifferently when she heard the words: "Lord Weng has a heart!" All is well in this palace! ”

Liu Ling's face was overjoyed, "So Ling'er is relieved!" Bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, Liu Ling's face turned from happy to worried, and he sighed lightly: "Queen, today Ling'er went to the Queen Mother's palace to say hello, I heard some things, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Gillian sneered in her heart, and said quietly: "It's okay for Lord Weng to say anything. ”

"Hey..."Liu Ling sighed, put down the teacup, and said worriedly: "Ling'er is very worried about the queen, I heard the queen mother mention it today, Your Majesty is afraid that the son of the Wei family will be the crown prince!" ”

"What?" Gillian looked shocked, stunned for a while, and was silent.

Liu Ling saw Gillian's expression and was very busy blaming himself: "This matter has not yet been decided, it is Ling'er's mouth that is fast, and the queen should not take it to heart!" "Since the last time I saw Gillian in Jiaofang Palace, almost a month has passed, and there is no turmoil in the harem at all, Liu Ling has to hurry over to add fire.

"Hongu knows!" Gillian suppressed the tumbling of her heart and said slowly, "This palace is lacking, if the owner has nothing else, please go back!" ”

"No! The queen is resting, and Ling'er is retiring! Liu Ling gave a deep salute and retreated.

As soon as Liu Ling left, Gillian's body softened, fell into Chunhua's arms, and said sadly: "Auntie, you have heard it, Your Majesty actually wants to establish the son of the Wei family as the crown prince, how can this make the palace embarrassed?" ”

Chunhua hugged Gillian and comforted her with kind words: "Don't be sad, the queen doesn't want to be sad, now it is unknown whether the child in Mrs. Wei's womb is a man or a woman, why can she be the crown prince?" Don't listen to Lord Liu Weng's words! ”

"It is unknown whether this piece of meat in Wei's womb is male or female, and His Majesty promised to make her child the crown prince, how can this not make the palace sad?" Gillian sobbed.

Chunhua said: "Queen, even if Mrs. Wei gives birth to a baby boy, but the queen is in the middle palace, and Mrs. Wei's son is not the eldest son, how can she be crowned prince?" The slave maid saw that Liu Weng was cunning and provocative, and she didn't have any good intentions, so the queen should not be bewitched by her! ”

Gillian stopped sobbing when she heard this, and said, "What my aunt said is very true! It's all Liu Ling's little slut, and the palace is upset in a few words, don't let her set foot in the Jiaofang Palace again in the future! ”

Chunhua responded and said: "Queen, no matter how favored Mrs. Wei is, she is just a lady now, but if the queen can conceive the prince, it will be different, that is the eldest son of my dynasty, the future prince!" ”

Gillian pursed her lips and said: "Auntie, this palace also wants to ah, but you have also seen it, since the death of my grandmother, Your Majesty has hardly set foot in the Jiaofang Palace, how do you let this palace be?" ”

Chunhua smiled slightly and said, "The slave maid has a way, but I don't know if the queen is willing to give it a try?" ”

Gillian said anxiously: "Auntie, if you have any good ideas, hurry up and tell this palace." ”

Chunhua whispered in her ear: "Right now, Mrs. Wei is favored and pregnant with a dragon, if the queen can put down her body and go to visit..."

"Absolutely not!" Gillian refused, "As the master of the harem, how can I put down my body to visit that little slut?" ”

Chunhua said kindly: "The queen and listen to the slave maid finish speaking, if the queen is willing to put down her body to visit Mrs. Wei, Your Majesty will be happy when she learns about it, and she will remember the old relationship with the queen, and Mrs. Wei is pregnant and can't sleep, isn't the queen just taking this opportunity to rebuild the old with Your Majesty?" ”

"This..."Gillian hesitated, Chunhua's method was indeed very good, but she was reluctant to ask her to be a dignified queen to visit a lady, and it was a thorn in her side that gritted her teeth.

Chunhua knew Gillian's temperament, so he said again: "The queen is from a noble background, and she is the master of the six palaces, and she is the mother of the world, Wei's is lowly, and she was only crowned Mrs. by His Majesty's favor, and the queen went to show goodwill, but in fact it was also a demonstration, and taught Mrs. Nawei not to lose her proportions!" ”

Chunhua's words can be said to be the right medicine, and suddenly untied the knot in Gillian's heart, Gillian agreed: "Just according to my aunt's words!" ”

These days, Wei Zifu's diet has been bad, and the symptoms of joy are worse than when he was pregnant with the eldest princess, and the child in his womb is slowly getting bigger, and his body is becoming more and more uncomfortable. After the future, he was still tired and lazy, lying on the brocade couch.

Cai Xi took care of it carefully, and said: "Madame only drank some porridge for lunch, and the slave maid asked the cooks to warm up the bird's nest soup?" ”

Wei Zifu leaned down slightly, and said, "I still don't want to eat, I don't need to be hot." ”

Cai Xi said with a smile: "If Madame doesn't eat, I'm afraid I'm going to starve the little prince!" ”

Wei Zifu chuckled and said, "Pregnant with this child is really much more tired than when Huaijue was a child, so bring it for me!" ”

Cai Xi was about to retreat in response, but suddenly heard the sound of the queen arriving outside the hall, Cai Xi pouted and said, "Isn't the queen coming to harm Mrs. again!" ”

Wei Zifu reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Help me up! Cai Xi immediately closed his mouth, carefully helped Wei Zifu up, and stood on one side. Wei Zifu has seen the queen, and the queen is happy forever! "Although Wei Zifu is pregnant, the palace rules and etiquette are not slack.

Gillian walked into the Zhaoyang Palace, although it is said to be the master of the six palaces, but Gillian has never set foot in the Zhaoyang Palace, today the first time to come, look at the palace furnishings are elegant, but it is inevitably too simple, the heart can't help but secretly disdain, really just a low-born singer.

"Mrs. Wei doesn't have to be formal!" Gillian walked forward with a smile, "Since you moved into the Zhaoyang Palace, the palace has never come to visit, I heard that Mrs. is pregnant a few days ago, and the palace has specially prepared good supplements to show a little affection." After that, Chunhua, who followed Gillian behind, opened a brocade box in his hand, and saw that inside was a good old ginseng, with a slightly yellow color, just looking at the roots, he knew that he was 100 years old.

Wei Zifu hurriedly said: "Thank you for the queen's kindness, Zifu will never dare to accept such a generous gift!" ”

Gillian smiled lightly: "Although this thing is precious, it is not as good as the heart of the palace, Mrs. Wei should not refuse!" ”

Seeing Gillian's earnest words, Wei Zifu couldn't refuse anymore, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the queen's reward!" ”

"Caixi, go get some snacks!" Wei Zifu said to Cai Xi beside him.

"No need, the palace will leave in a moment." Gillian looked at Cai Xi and said casually, "This girl looks very smart, and she has been following Mrs. Wei for a long time, right?" ”

Wei Zifu nodded and said, "It's been a few years, and I've been following me since Lan'er went, and I've been meticulous in my work." ”

Hearing Wei Zifu mention Lan'er, Gillian's face changed slightly, and she immediately covered it up, and said, "Mrs. Wei is so good to give birth to, the palace should also go back!" After saying that, Lian moved lightly and took Chunhua out of Zhaoyang Palace.

When the lights of the palaces and halls of Weiyang Palace were lit one after another, Liu Che's imperial chariot also arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, and saw that Wei Zifu was safe in the palace, and his hanging heart was put down, "Zifu, I heard that the queen has come to Zhaoyang Palace today?" ”

Wei Zifu was pondering that Gillian had been targeted everywhere before, and even wanted to get rid of herself, but now she was so cold and warm, which made her inexplicably favored, and she raised her eyes unconsciously when she heard the voice, and saw that Liu Che had walked to him, and hurriedly got up and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Back to Your Majesty, the queen did come to Zhaoyang Palace, she came to visit the concubine, and gave the concubine a good ginseng. ”

Liu Che sneered unconsciously when he heard this: "How could she be so kind? ”

Wei Zifu sat down with Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, the queen loves the house and Wu, so she personally sent ginseng to the concubines to replenish their bodies." ”

"It's good that she's really like that!" After a little hesitation, Liu Che said again, "Why don't I transfer Wei Qing to Zhaoyang Palace, now that the gate army has become a climate, I let Wei Qing be in charge of your guards full-time?" ”

Wei Zifu said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, now the Zhaoyang Palace is guarded by guards day and night, and it is expected to be fine." Qing'er can now share His Majesty's worries, and the son-in-law is overjoyed, so don't bother to transfer him here. ”

"It's just..."Liu Che frowned, "The queen's move finally made me uneasy, how could she suddenly change her temper?" ”

Wei Zifu said with good words: "There was some estrangement between the concubine and the queen before, but after a long time, it has long been eliminated. Now His Majesty is often in the Zhaoyang Palace, and the queen lives alone in the Jiaofang Palace, which is inevitably lonely and lonely. ”

Liu Che bowed his head lightly and said thoughtfully: "I haven't been to the Jiaofang Palace for a long time, Zifu, you are so understanding, if the queen had half of you, it would not be like this." ”

Wei Zifu said softly: "Your Majesty has praised it, if Your Majesty has time to go to Jiaofang Hall for a walk, maybe it will be a different situation?" ”

Liu Che nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I know!" ”
