Zhou Xiaochan's eyes turned red at the moment, she choked and cried, hugged Zhou Biezhi tightly with her backhand, and whimpered, "My daughter has never left with her mother." ”

Zhou Beizhi was also sad, but still said firmly, "Growth is like this, there are many partings, there is a lot of helplessness, and there is a lot of pain, but my mother knows that Xiaochan is a brave girl, and we are not separated forever, my mother will come back in the future, you can also go to Zhao Kingdom to see my mother, and when Yan Zhao gets married, we may be able to meet every day again." ”

Zhou Xiaochan nodded with tears in her eyes, she sniffed, let go of Zhou Biezhi, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, then she reluctantly smiled, and said to Zhou Biezhi, "Mother don't worry." ”

looked at Jin Ping on the side again, "Uncle Jin Ping wants to take care of my mother all the way." ”

Jin Ping said, "Of course, Miss can rest assured. ”

Zhou Xiaochan didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Beizhi reluctantly and painfully.

Zhou Beizhi sighed lightly, rubbed her little head again, and left.

At noon that day, Zhou Biezhi and Jin Ping left.

As soon as the two of them left, the Zhou Mansion, which was not very lively, became more and more deserted, and Zhou Xiaochan finished lunch, and it was too late to continue to be sentimental and rest, so someone came to the palace to announce her entry into the palace and participate in the entry assessment of the Tai Hospital.

Zhou Xiaochan packed up her mood, cheered up, and entered the palace.

Zhu Xuanguang heard the news and came over to cheer her up.

As soon as Zhou Xiaochan saw him, her eyes turned red for no reason.

Zhu Xuanguang was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Xiaochan sniffed, "My mother is gone." ”

Zhu Xuanguang looked at her for a long time, and then he reached out, grabbed her little shoulder, and took her into his arms, he didn't say anything, only gave silent comfort.

Zhou Xiaochan leaned on his arms, absorbing the warmth in his arms, until a light cough came from the side, she hurriedly pushed Zhu Xuanguang away.

Zhu Xuanguang glanced at the shy look on her face, smiled, looked to the side, and when he saw Yan Chi, he hurriedly saluted.

That light cough did not come from Yan Chi's mouth, but from Qinghai's mouth.

Yan Chi was wearing a dragon robe, standing there without moving, only his eyes turned from Zhou Xiaochan's face to Zhu Xuanguang's face, and behind Yan Chi, there were several imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital.

The emperor came in person, and these imperial doctors naturally knew very well what he was here for.

Zhou Xiaochan is Zhou Beizhi's daughter, and the imperial doctors all know that even if Zhou Beizhi resigns and leaves, he didn't say hello to his old colleagues before leaving, and take care of her daughter more in the future, and the imperial doctors will take care of her daughter, not to mention that the emperor is here in person.

Therefore, this assessment is actually a form of walking.

Regardless of whether the test results are good or bad, Zhou Xiaochan has already been determined by the hospital.

Several imperial doctors walked out from behind Yan Chi like a mirror in their hearts, saluted him one by one, took Zhou Xiaochan with them, and entered the Tai Hospital.

Yan Chi called Zhu Xuanguang to his side, he glanced back at the palace maids and eunuchs, signaled that they didn't have to follow, and asked Qinghai to stay here, waiting for Zhou Xiaochan's exam results, he led Zhu Xuanguang and went out.

Along the way, Yan Chi did not speak.

But Zhu Xuanguang probably sensed it and felt that Yan Chi had something to say to him.

Yan Chi did have something to say to him, it was about Zhou Xiaochan, but he didn't know how to speak.

Originally, it is normal for men and women to love each other, he shouldn't say anything, as long as Zhou Xiaochan likes it, as long as Zhu Xuanguang likes it, he should be happy, but the problem is that Zhou Xiaochan was infatuated with Zhao Huaiyan once last time, and after knowing that Zhao Huaiyan was a woman, although she accepted it, she was still sad for a long time.

The first time she was in love, there was a big oolong, and this time, if she was hurt again, she might have to see through the red dust and cut her hair to become a nun.

If Zhou Beizhi came back and knew that her baby daughter had become a nun, she would not be angry to death.

Yan Chi pondered for a long time, and then said, "After returning from Qi State, you and Xiaochan have been very close, and the relationship seems to be getting better and better. ”

Zhu Xuanguang was shocked and sighed.

Yan Chi didn't need to look at his face, just listened to his surprise, he knew that he didn't actually mean to marry Zhou Xiaochan, he turned his head suddenly, looked at him coldly, and reminded in a low voice, "If you don't plan to marry her, don't be so good to her, Xiaochan is soft-hearted and easy to rely on people, you know what happened to Zhao Huaiyan last time, if you let her hurt her again this time......"

Yan Chi didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhu Xuanguang understood.

Zhu Xuanguang's forehead twitched slightly, and he retorted in a low voice, "I am good to her because she used to be good to me, can there be nothing else between me and her except love?" ”

Yan Chi said, "Of course you can, family or friendship can be, but this is your idea, what if Xiaochan sees this kind of family or friendship as love?" ”

Zhu Xuanguang choked and had nothing to say.

He has a love angel in his heart, but the angel belongs to someone else's family, and love is also someone else's, and his liking for Zhao Huaiyan is actually not very deep, but it is a woman who amazed him at first sight, and it is a little difficult to let go.

He didn't dare to pack a ticket to Yan Chi, saying that he would definitely love Zhou Xiaochan.

But he really likes Zhou Xiaochan's temperament, gentle, kind, and gracious, but if you treat her well, she will give you ten points in return.

She is a lovely girl, and she is also a girl who dares to do things, and it can be seen from her that she traveled thousands of miles to the dangerous country of Qi to treat him, she looks weak, but in fact she is not weak at all.

After returning to China, the two spent more time together, and he paid more attention to her and her affairs.

But this kind of care is not love, Zhu Xuanguang did not miss her day and night, and impulsively went to find her when she did not appear in front of her.

He only knows that Zhou Xiaochan likes to come to his mansion to hang out when she has something to do, talk to him, come when she is sad, and come when she is happy.

What kind of love is in the eyes of a girl, Zhu Xuanguang doesn't understand.

But he really didn't have that kind of manly impulse for her, and he didn't think about getting married.

Zhu Xuanguang pursed his lips and remained silent.

Yan Chi glanced at him, seeing that he couldn't answer, he didn't embarrass him, but said, "I didn't mean anything else when I said this, and it wasn't for you to break off your friendship with Xiaochan from now on, but to let you have a sense of proportion when you get along with her." ”

Zhu Xuanguang lowered his eyes, "I understand." ”

Yan Chi said, "Just understand, I'll go first." ”

After Yan Chi left, Zhu Xuanguang stood in a daze for a while, and then turned around and went to the Tai Hospital.

Although affected by Yan Chi's words, he still wanted to accompany Zhou Xiaochan today, at this time, her mother is gone, and no one can come to share her joy, except for her two maid rings, there is only him.

He can imagine the joy of Zhou Xiaochan coming out after the assessment and being admitted.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Xuanguang's mouth unconsciously appeared with a gentle smile.

At this time, he didn't realize that he had regarded himself as Zhou Xiaochan's invisible reliance.

And he didn't realize that true love is cultivated in this mutual need.

Yan Chi returned to the imperial study, first wrote a letter, and asked people to send it to Zhao State quickly, and handed it over to Zhao Huaiyan, and then Xuan Nanqiu Han entered the palace, and attached a letter to Emperor Chen, hoping that Emperor Chen could temporarily cut his love, and let Prime Minister Pei Lianfu come to Yan State to serve as a one-year training teacher.

Although Yan is a strong country and Chen is a small subordinate country, Yan Chi's letter, word by word, is sincere and sincere, and there is no aggressiveness, superiority, and indesperation as a powerful emperor.

He wanted to invite Pei Lianfu to Yan, not to win people's love, but because Yan really needs people like Pei Lianfu to teach now.

After swallowing the Qi State, the state territory on the Qi side is not peaceful, if it is not for the Yan State male soldiers stationed, there will be chaos over there.

The state of Qi has been overthrown, the royal family surnamed Qi has died, and the territory of the state of Qi has been crowned the land of Northern Yan.

There is a Chu State sandwiched between the Northern Yan State and the Yan State, and it is a little difficult to connect the prefectures of the Yan State, in addition to destroying Chu and swallowing the territory of Chu, in this way, the Yan State version of the land has become a real piece.

However, the front foot Chu State has just helped him Yan State to capture Qi State, as a close relative plus close neighbor plus friendly alliance, it is difficult for Yan State to send troops to attack Chu, and now, the kings of the eight countries know that he Yan Chi wants to accept the princess of Chu State as a concubine, and Chu Chaohuan also lived in the palace of Yan State, and Chu Zhi said that it does not exist anymore.

If you can't merge Northern Yan and Yan, you can only divide and rule.

Wenchen, he wants to use Pei Lianfu, Wuchen, he wants to use Nanqiu Han.

Of course, Pei Lianfu is the prime minister of Chen Guo, and he will not sit in his official position in Yan State, it doesn't matter, in the name of a teacher, teaching and supervising the past officials of the new faction can still make those officials jealous.

Pei Lianfu's talent, after the first war of Qi State, no one knows his wife.

Among the civil servants of so many countries, he is the most respected.

Although Pei Lianfu is the prime minister of Chen State, it seems a little inappropriate to let him serve as the teacher of the civil officials of Yan State, and Pei Lianfu is the main text, Nanqiu Han is the main martial arts, and the two of them are brothers-in-law.

But in fact, Yan Chi didn't worry about this at all.

First, he believes in Pei Lianfu's personality, and second, he believes in Nanqiu Han's personality.

Although the two of them are brothers-in-law, they are both loyal to the monarch and loyal to the country.

The letter went into the hands of Emperor Chen, Emperor Chen read it, thought for a long time, and then asked people to pass Pei Lianfu into the palace, and when Pei Lianfu came, Emperor Chen forwarded the letter to him.

After Pei Lianfu finished reading, his eyes moved.

Emperor Chen asked him, "What does Pei Xiang think?" ”

Pei Lianfu calmly put the letter away and asked, "What does the emperor think?" ”

Emperor Chen said, "I plan to promise Emperor Yan. ”

Pei Lianfu smiled faintly, "Since the emperor has an idea, it is inconvenient for the old minister to say more, the emperor, you can make an order!" ”

Emperor Chen said, "If Pei Xiang has anything to say, just say it." ”

Pei Lianfu looked at this emperor who had gone through the life and death crisis and grew up from the catastrophe, and he was extremely relieved in his heart, in fact, at his age, he should have retired a long time ago, but because he took care of the emperor, took into account the foundation of Chen Guo, and took into account the thousands of people of Chen Guo, he was still as diligent as an old cow.

Pei Lianfu said, "Emperor Yan is a man of words, he said that if he uses the minister for one year, it will not be delayed for two years, and the letter also makes it clear that the minister is just to teach, not to be an official, it is enough to see the sincerity of Emperor Yan, he is not strong, it is really valuable, in terms of the current status of Yan State, if he really wants to get me to Yan Country to be an official, the emperor can only let go of his fate, the reason why he does not force it is because he respects me Chen Guo." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, "Your Majesty, since Chen Guo was attached to Qi, he didn't know how to write the word respect, and now I, Chen, am still weak, but Yan Guo does not treat us as ants, but on an equal footing, just this alone, the emperor should not be disobedient, moreover." ”

He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Ji Mogui, the general of Yan Guo, stayed behind in Chen Guo to help me Chen Guo train soldiers, night and day, never slackening, this kindness is unforgettable for the whole country, and as the emperor, I should be grateful and remember." ”

Emperor Chen nodded, indicating that he understood all this.

Pei Lianfu became more and more pleased, he said with a smile, "The emperor can think of these things before the minister comes, and he made the right decision, the minister just wants to say that the minister will not let the emperor be embarrassed, will not let Chen Guo be embarrassed, after going to Beiyan, he must do his duty, let all the people in the old land of Qi and the old minister know that I, Chen Guo, am not underestimated." ”

Emperor Chen listened to Pei Lianfu's words, his nose was sour, he got up from the dragon chair, came to Pei Lianfu, stretched out his hand and hugged him, "Pei Xiang, I am very grateful to God for giving you to me." ”

Pei Lianfu gently patted Emperor Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "It was the emperor's benevolence and kindness that made the ministers follow him like this." ”

Emperor Chen said, "I will definitely do better." ”

Pei Lianfu said, "Well, the minister believes in the emperor. ”

After the two men hugged each other for a while, Emperor Chen went to write a reply letter and agreed.

Pei Lianfu went back and prepared for a trip to Beiyan.

After Pei Lianfu went to Beiyan and started his teaching career, Chen Guo and Yan Guo completely embarked on a pattern of mutual integration, Yan Guo will help Chen Qiangbing in Chen Guo, and Chen Guocheng went to Beiyan to teach the officials of Beiyan to be officials and ministers, these two countries, one strong and one weak, seem to be independent imperial power, but in fact, they have melted into one.

Since then, Emperor Chen and Yan Chi have corresponded frequently.

Emperor Chen has been the emperor for many years, far older than Yan Chi, in terms of age, Yan Chi should be called Emperor Chen's uncle, but above the emperor, Emperor Chen wants to be called Yan Chi and Emperor Yan.

With the growth of time, the relationship between the two gradually cultivated in the correspondence, occasionally, Emperor Chen would also appear in a few words to offend Yan Chi, and a virtuous nephew shouted out, Yan Chi received such a letter, often replied to ridicule him, saying that he was not good as an uncle, and the implicit meaning was, why are you Chen Guo still so weak.

When Emperor Chen saw such a reply, he usually slapped the table and laughed, and then showed the letter to Ji Mogui, to Ping Shuzheng, and then to the ministers of Chen State.

Over time, the ministers of the Chen State, although they were far away from Yan Chi, were extremely kind to this young emperor.

Some people's relationships have become closer, and some people's relationships have become a little weaker.

During the period when Yan Xingzhou was emperor, he had a good relationship with Emperor Chu.

The relationship between Yan and Chu is also good.

And the foundation of such a good relationship is the personal relationship between Yan Xingzhou and Emperor Chu.

Now that Yan Xingzhou is gone, the chain of personal friendship is slowly loosening, Emperor Chu and Yan Chi have not been born and died, they have not been side by side, and there is an age gap in between, Yan Chi and Chu Chaohuan are people of the same generation, and Emperor Chu can't go together, and the two don't have too much affection, and the generation gap exists in any era.

Over time, the feelings between the two countries are also fading.

But fortunately, the alliance did not disperse.

After all, Chu Chaohuan still lives in the palace of Yan State, and the marriage between Yan State and Chu State has not been abolished.

After Yan Chi became emperor, the most contacts were Emperor Chen and Emperor Zhao.

Because of this connection, the three countries of Yan, Zhao, and Chen are very close.

In Yan Chi's letters to Zhao Huaiyan, she often mentions some things about Chen Guo, as well as things about Emperor Chen, Zhao Huaiyan knows that Yan Chi often contacts Emperor Chen, and occasionally, she will write to Emperor Chen to care about the affairs of Chen Guo, so down, the emperors of these three countries, two are new emperors, one is the old emperor, said it is the old emperor, in fact, it is also the new emperor, because the previous Emperor Chen, said that he was the emperor, in fact, he was very unqualified, and now he is like an emperor.

The contact between the three emperors became as frequent as eating.

Zhou Beizhi went to Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Huaiyan, who received Yan Chi's letter, went to greet her in person, Zhou Beizhi looked at the girl in front of him, her eyebrows and eyes were still the same, her smile was still the same, and her beautiful face was still the same, but she obviously felt a lot stronger.

If Zhao Huaiyan was a fairy in the past, beautiful and not eating fireworks in the world, then the current Zhao Huaiyan is a god who came to the world with a strong holy light.

Zhou Beizhi got out of the carriage and saluted.

Jin Ping also followed suit.

Zhao Huaiyan supported Zhou Biezhi and only accepted Jin Ping's salute.

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "Aunt Zhou doesn't have to be polite, you and I are not monarchs, Xiaochan and I are called sisters, according to this, you are my elders, how can there be any reason for elders to salute juniors." ”

Zhou Beizhi said, "You were a princess before, but now you are the emperor, and the due ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, glanced at Jin Ping behind Zhou Biezhi, and said, "Uncle Jin Ping doesn't have to be polite, when you come to Zhao Kingdom, you are my Zhao Huaiyan's family, a family, no one is high or low." ”

She took Zhou Biezhi's hand, went into the palace, and said as she walked, "I received a letter from Yan Chi a long time ago, knowing that you are here to take care of Uncle Yan, so I cleaned up a side room for you next to him, Uncle Jin Ping's is connected with you, and my father is also there, when there are only the two of them, Zhao Gonggong and Xun Gonggong always come to me and ask me to mediate their quarrels, and now with Aunt Zhou, I can also save snacks." ”

When Zhou Beizhi heard this, he was happy, "Don't you just fight?" ”

The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth twitched, "It's just that the two of them are fighting, and they won't let the two fathers-in-law come to pass me on to me, only when they quarrel and quarrel." ”

Zhou Beizhi said with a smile, "These two people, when they were young, they didn't do it right, they didn't do it when they were old, they didn't live together, they still wanted to live together, torture each other, and they had nothing to do!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, "Who said it wasn't, this is probably the so-called enemy!" ”

Zhou Beizhi is the person who has been following Yan Xingzhou's side, Yan Xingzhou and Zhao Xian and Xian Ruhua when they were young, she is one by one, she shook her head and laughed, not to say anything, I feel that the word "enemy" is really appropriate for the two of them.

Zhao Huaiyan personally took Zhou Beizhi to the dormitory near the imperial mausoleum.

Yan Xingzhou and Zhao Xian have both received the news that she is coming to live, Yan Xingzhou is very annoying to her, but Zhao Xian squinted and smiled thiefly, Yan Xingzhou is older than Zhao Xian, according to the age, Yan Xingzhou must die before Zhao Xian, what does it mean to die first? That is to see Xian Ruhua first!

But as soon as Zhou Beizhi came, Yan Xingzhou's abacus was started.

Whether he has a headache and brain fever, or a stubborn illness, Zhou Beizhi can get rid of the disease.

But Zhao Xianxiao was early, Zhou Beizhi could treat Yan Xingzhou, and he could also treat him, and it was impossible for him to destroy himself.

Later, under the care of Zhou Biezhi, the two old men were getting better and better, and they were getting farther and farther away from the days of seeing immortals.

After Zhou Beizhi stayed, Changhong came to see her.

At this time, Changhong had already become a relative to Ying Liu, and she was pregnant, although it was less than a month, it was enough to shock Zhou Beizhi.

Changhong and Ying Liu's marriage, Zhou Beizhi really didn't know.

After Changhong married Ying Liu, he lived out.

After Changhong became pregnant, Yingliu temporarily stopped working and stayed at home to accompany her.

Knowing that Zhou Beizhi was coming, Ying Liu also accompanied Changhong and entered the palace to see her.

In fact, Ying Liu and Zhou Beizhi have no feelings, at most, Zhao Huaiyan took pictures of each other in the days when he was the left minister in Yan Kingdom.

But Changhong and Zhou Beizhi's relationship is better.

They are all Yan people, and they all serve the Yan royal family.

Although it is a killer who came out of the Lou Soul Order, after all, she is a woman, she is married, and after she gets married, Changhong will also have a long relationship with her children, she doesn't know anyone in Yan Kingdom, the only one she knows is Zhao Huaiyan in the palace, as well as Qu Zhao, Zhaoxue, Lan Wu, etc., but they live in the palace and are busy with their own things, especially Zhao Huaiyan, who is busy every day, and Changhong can't enter the palace to bother them, so he stays in the house every day.

When she was not pregnant, Yingliu often took her out to visit the mountains and rivers of Zhao Kingdom.

But after she was found out to be pregnant, Ying Liu was very careful and basically stayed at home.

She was suffocated, and when she knew that Zhou Beizhi was coming, she immediately entered the palace.

Zhou Beizhi knew that she was pregnant, shocked and happy, the doctor was used to giving her a pulse to see her body, and then told her what to pay attention to in the early stages of pregnancy, and explained to Ying Liu, how to pay attention to the meal in the kitchen, etc., Ying Liuyi wrote it down one by one, and felt that it was really time for Zhou Beizhi to come.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the imperial doctor of Zhao State, but that Zhou Beizhi's name is really louder than any imperial doctor of Zhao State.

Since that day, Changhong has entered the palace more often.

Zhou Beizhi occasionally went out of the palace to visit Changhong.

But most of the time, it is Changhong who enters the palace, so that the dormitory on the periphery of the Zhao Emperor's Mausoleum, which has been deserted for half a century, is lively.

Yan Xingzhou and Zhao Xian also gradually had a longing for Changhong's baby.

The two boring old men often block the gender of the child in Changhong's belly.

Looking at Changhong's gradually growing belly, Zhao Xian often sighed, "If Yan'er is also pregnant, I don't know what it looks like." ”

At this time, Yan Xingzhou will say, "Then you hurry up and urge her, let her marry quickly." ”

Zhao Xian glared angrily when he heard this, then flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't talk about getting married, and the most anxious thing was Yan Chi.

Yan Chi wrote many times and bluntly said about this matter.

And Zhao Huaiyan's reply is often very direct, "Busy." ”

One word, it's really not even perfunctory.

When Yan Chi was angry, he would complain to Emperor Chen, saying why is it so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, and was it so difficult when you married a daughter-in-law.

Emperor Chen would secretly laugh for a while, and then joke with him, saying that you are not charming, do you want your uncle to help you?

This is Emperor Chen's quip, Yan Chi will not take it to heart, but, help?

Absolutely.

Therefore, Emperor Chen sent a letter to Zhao Huaiyan, a big long one, and his words were naughty, "Xiao Yan'er, the virtuous nephew is in a hurry, if you don't sprinkle water on him, he will have to burn down the palace of Yanguo, and when the time comes, you will marry and have no place to live!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at such a letter, smiled, and replied, "When his place burns, I will cover it for him in Zhao Kingdom!" ”

When Emperor Chen saw it, he was stunned, he covered his forehead, and then replied to Yan Chi, "It's terrible, Emperor Zhao wants you to be rich, you hurry up and bring someone to bring your heart, and by the way, give the country away, go to Zhao State, go to Zhao Kingdom, and your daughter-in-law will have it!" ”
