The summer thunder rolled, swept across the sky, Liu Ling's face in the Qutai Hall was covered with haze, and five days passed, and there was no news of Liu Che's harsh criticism of Wei Zifu, and even the Lanchi Hall was as peaceful as ever, and there was no talk about Liu Jue chasing the wind and shadows.

What went wrong? Liu Ling couldn't stop recalling.

"Sui'er, the little yellow door in the Purple Palace, have you taken care of it?" remembered that day Sui'er came back and told that Wei Qing had brought Huo Qu to Ganquan Palace, so Liu Ling planned to design such a good show in his heart. Sui'er led Huo Qubing to Lanchi Hall as Xiaoyu, and then let the Xiaohuang Gate outside the Purple Hall spread the information that Huo Qubing was looking for Liu Jue, so that Liu Che thought that his daughter had a private meeting with her lover on the eve of her wedding, so that not only would she reprimand Wei Zifu for being indisciplinary, but also make Liu Jue unable to raise her head in Cao Mansion in the future.

The maid Sui'er hurriedly replied: "Madam, the little yellow door slave in front of the Purple Hall has already been tied, I believe he will not talk nonsense." ”

Liu Ling nodded with a frown, and said to Sui'er: "You go down!" ”

Sui'er saw that the master's expression was not good, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly answered the promise and retreated, leaving only Liu Ling alone in the hall, with the thunder, the sky became more and more gloomy, and with a dazzling lightning swept across the sky, the raindrops of beans finally poured down.

A series of water droplets rolled down the eaves, splashing a lot of water on the ground, Liu Ling got up and walked to the window, looking at the water droplets splashing on the ground, his heart became more and more troubled. If the matter of the private meeting of the Lanchi Palace did not make a splash in the palace, then to a large extent, there was only one possibility, and this possibility was exactly what she Liu Ling was most unwilling to face, that is, the current emperor trusted and favored the queen very much, so even if the matter of the eldest princess's private meeting in the palace was undoubted, the emperor would still not be harsh on the queen who managed the harem, but would choose to deal with the matter quietly, just like the Ganquan Palace, which was calm at this time.

"Wei Zifu, where are you good? How can you let him do this to you! Liu Ling sighed with hatred in his heart.

The mansions of the dignitaries and nobles in the north of Chang'an City are lined up one after another, one is more magnificent and luxurious than the other, and a simple house near the corner of West Street is Wei Qing's Changping Marquis Mansion. After installing the main hall of the front hall, and passing through a patio courtyard is the inner room of the house, Xiao Tianlan's face was crimson at this time, and she looked at Wei Qing, who had just gone down to the court, and stopped, "Husband..."

Wei Qing was about to change out of his court clothes, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Tianlan, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Tianlan smiled and said in a low voice: "Concubine... The concubine has a body..."

"Got it?" Wei Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "Really? ”

"Hmm..."Xiao Tianlan nodded shyly, "Today, I invited Lang Zhong to come to the mansion to check the pulse, and the concubine has been pregnant for more than a month." ”

"Great!" Wei Qing was overjoyed, stroked his palms and muttered, "The couple has a brother again!" ”

Xiao Tianlan smiled and said, "How does the husband know that he is a brother and not a sister?" ”

Wei Qing smiled: "Then give birth to another sister for the couple!" ”

Xiao Tianlan chuckled, "When did Husband become so fond of playing tricks on people?" ”

Wei Qing smiled and hugged Xiao Tianlan without saying a word, gently stroked her still flat lower abdomen, and said, "How fortunate I am Wei Qing, God really treats me Wei Qing when I meet you!" ”

Xiao Tianlan snuggled in Wei Qing's arms, and said softly: "If the concubine can meet her husband, isn't it God's favor!" ”

Under the window, the two hugged each other, listening to the cicadas in the treetops, and their eyes were full of smiles.

The sun is in a hurry, the leaves on the branches turn from green to yellow, gradually falling in the rising autumn wind, and the crochescent moon in the night sky is gradually becoming complete, and the wedding day of Liu Jue, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, has finally arrived.

The eldest princess got married, what an honor and liveliness it was, and the city of Chang'an was already full of red silk and lanterns, full of joy and celebration. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the gates of Chang'an City were wide open, gongs and drums were loud, and Chang'an people helped the old and the young to crowd both sides of the street, vying to see the marriage of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Xiang head plugged Zhai Yu dressed in a wedding dress, crossed the red horse, joyfully took a guard of honor to Weiyang Palace to welcome relatives, dismounted from the palace gate by the ceremonial officer to introduce the seat, at this time the eldest princess's guard and car have been prepared, Cao Xiang and Liu Jue after the emperor and queen three kowtows, only then boarded the tired Zhai car to make the Weiyang Palace.

Looking at the wheels rolling away, Wei Zifu's heart was both happy and lost. The daughter who has been like a jewel since she was a child has been married to a woman in a blink of an eye, and she will be a wife and a mother in the future, and she will live a life that belongs to her, although Lang Jun may not be her favorite candidate, but thinking that Cao Xiang must also belong to her lover.

The carriage was rolling around, Liu Jue sat in the car with a red cover on her head, listening to the gongs and drums outside, she could also imagine the lively and festive all the way, but at this time her heart was not so happy, "Huo Quai... You know, I'm married, and later... We will never have a future again..."Liu Jue sighed faintly in his heart, raising his eyes to look out of the car window.

Through the red yarn, the sun outside is really good, just like the time when we first met.

The night was gentle, the stars were bright, and several wine jugs were thrown on the ground, and Huo Quzhi leaned on the corner of the wall and slowly poured another sip of wine. The piece of sheep-white jade Jue was held in the palm of his hand and carefully studied it over and over again, he didn't understand why he was so uncomfortable, the melancholy in his heart was like silk, endless, with an indescribable melancholy, like a thick ink that could not be dissolved, round and round, with a bone-eroding desolation.

Huo Quzhi sighed, and poured down another sip of wine.

In the blink of an eye, the willow branches are green again, it is a good time for the willows to get drunk with spring smoke, but the border passes are frequently urgent.

"Report! The Huns of Shuofang County attacked, plundered dozens of livestock, and more than 100 people..."

"Report! The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu led the cavalry slaves to attack Shuofang, plundering more than 1,000 cattle and sheep of the people..."

"Report! The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu attacked Shuofang again..."

Liu Che couldn't bear to be disturbed, after several court discussions, Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry out of Gaoque by Wei Qing, and sent four generals to lead the troops out of Shuofang to assist in the battle, 100,000 cavalry were under the orders of Wei Qing, the general of the cavalry, and the army was open to attack the Huns together.

After returning to the house, Wei Qing was a little uneasy, now Xiao Tianlan's belly is as big as a fight, calculating that the time is about to give birth, and he naturally can't take care of his family when he is outside, how can this be good?

It was just because of the frowning that Xiao Tianlan walked over slowly, and when she saw Wei Qing frowning, she couldn't help but say, "Husband is back?" ”

Wei Qing raised his head when he heard the voice, and hurriedly came over to help Xiao Tianlan, Xiao Tianlan said: "It's rare to see my husband so worried, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Tianlan..."Wei Qing looked at his wife and stopped talking, Xiao Tianlan is also a smart person, and he guessed a few points in his heart when he saw this, "Husband, is he going to go on the expedition?" ”

Wei Qing nodded gloomily, "Today, the imperial court has ordered to send troops to fight back against the Huns, and I will lead the army out of Gaoque... Tianlan, I..."

"Husband..."Xiao Tianlan bowed slightly, and said, "You can go with confidence!" ”

"Tianlan..."Wei Qing knew that Xiao Tianlan was reasonable, but after all, she was about to give birth, and he naturally couldn't rest assured that she was left alone in the mansion, "It's better for me to let my sister come over and take care of you!" ”

"No!" Xiao Tianlan shook her head and said, "When I was a child, I had already delayed my two sisters, and now that both sisters have families, how can I add trouble to them?" ”

"But... You are alone in the house to teach me how to rest assured? Wei Qing still insisted, "Although this time is to annoy my sister, but with my sister by your side, I can rest assured." ”

"Husband, aren't there still stewards and servants in the house?" Xiao Tianlan said, "Besides, I also gave birth to a child, you can rest assured that you can go, don't disturb the peace of your sisters." ”

"Tianlan..."

"This matter is settled!" Xiao Tianlan said with a smile, "Although the husband is the marquis, he also has to listen to the concubine!" ”

"Okay..."Wei Qing looked at Xiao Tianlan and said with relief, "If the war goes well, it may still be able to catch up with you to give birth." ”

"Hmm..."Xiao Tianlan nodded slightly, leveled Wei Qing's clothes, and said: "The husband is leading the army outside, you must be careful in everything, the concubine and the child are still waiting for you to come back..."

"Hmm..." Wei Qing nodded, hugged Xiao Tianlan, and the two were silent and depended on each other for a long time.

In March, there was a strong wind and sand.

At night, the wind rises, the sand and gravel fly in all directions, rustling on the door frame, and the branches and shadows are messy in the dark night, and they fall to the ground in the wind and sand. Several night lights in the Jiaofang hall were silent, only the sound of the wind passing by outside was heard, and the guard Zifu on the couch tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Wei Qing went on the expedition, and Xiao Tianlan's delivery was imminent, although he asked someone to take care of him, he was not by his side after all, and he couldn't help but worry. Thinking about Liu Jue even though he was married, he didn't know if the knot in his heart had opened, so he thought about it like this, and he didn't realize that the night had been three watches, and in a trance, Yun Niang picked up the curtain and came in, and called out in a hurry and low voice: "Queen, queen..."

"What's wrong?" Wei Zifu woke up suddenly and asked eagerly, "Is Tianlan born?" ”

Yun Niang nodded, with a solemn expression, and said, "The person who came only said that the situation is not very good, the queen should hurry up and take a look..."

Wei Zifu saw that Yun Niang woke up at this time, and he was already uneasy, and when he heard this, he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, and asked the palace people to let the imperial doctor order him to go quickly, Yun Niang quickly put a cloak on Wei Zifu and said well: "The queen is windy and sandy outside, be careful." ”

Wei Zifu was slightly speechless, and his heart was full of anxiety.
