Princess Liu of Guantao was panting, and her face was already flushed with many wrinkles. glanced at Uncle Yao beside him shyly: "What's wrong with you today?" So powerful? ”

Uncle Yao was sweating profusely, lying on the couch with a smile on his face: "It's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing!" ”

"What's good? But is there a way to deal with Su Ren? Liu Yan grabbed the quilt and covered herself: "Liu An, the king of Huainan, has already sent someone to Pingyang, this old thing thinks that if he kills Liu Che, he can become the emperor?" Don't look at what you look like, you won't be able to take his turn in another thousand years! ”

"Your Royal Highness doesn't need to be angry about King Huainan, he just wants to use him to test Liu Che's toughness, even if Liu Che is angry, it won't burn us!" Uncle Yao turned over and hugged Liu Che in his arms: "The good thing I want to talk about is a good thing, but it's a good thing to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, as long as this matter can be done, Su Ren and Liu Che will be incompatible, and no matter who we want to clean up at that time, it's okay!" ”

"Oh? And this good thing? Liu Concubine suddenly came to her senses, completely ignoring whether her naked body was covered or not: "Tell me quickly, what is a good thing?" ”

Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager's dormitory longevity hall. The Queen Mother Wang sat at Dou's hand in a regular manner, and watched with a smile as Queen Chen Ajiao coquettishly gave Dou a coquette. Dou laughed non-stop: "Okay, good, give it to you, give it to you!" You ghost girl, have you long fallen in love with the mourning family's Huanpei? This was given to me by Emperor Wen when he was in Daijun. ”

Chen Ajiao hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you grandmother, grandmother is the best for me!" ”

Dou smiled and signaled that Chen Ajiao could go, it was best to go as far as she could, and stop bothering her. Chen Ajiao not only didn't leave, but also took out the ring pendant in a conspicuous way, hung it on her skirt, and walked around the longevity hall. The jingle made Dou laugh even more happily Queen Mother Wang was slightly angry: "When this ring is worn, the emphasis is on whether it makes a sound, how can you have half a sense of beauty?" ”

"There are clouds in "Li": there is the sound of Huanpei in the walking, and there is the sound of Luan and the sound of the lifting, which is beautiful, and the queen mother does not understand and don't talk nonsense!" Chen Ajiao glanced at Wang, smug and complacent.

"Enough!" Dou snorted, and Wang and Chen Ajiao hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute. Dou's face sank like water: "Li"? Why don't I remember this sentence in "Zhou Li"? Do you know all those things in Confucianism? ”

Chen Ajiao knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly admitted her mistake and didn't dare to move when she lay on the ground.

The Queen Mother Wang said: "The queen mother is angry, the queen is young and ignorant, he remembers, my Han respects the legacy of the first emperors, advocates the rule of inaction, and the people of the world are all grateful." ”

Guantao Princess Liu Concubine walked in with a smile without passing on the rumors, first looked at her daughter, and then looked at the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. After kneeling down to salute the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, he asked, "Queen Mother, did Jiao'er make you angry again?" ”

"Humph!" Dou snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.

The Queen Mother Wang hurriedly grabbed Liu Yan: "Sister is here, sit down and talk!" Jiao'er didn't intend to say the wrong thing for a while, and the queen mother was explaining. ”

Concubine Liu glared at Chen Ajiao: "You know that you made your imperial grandmother angry, why don't you hurry forward and admit your mistake?" ”

After Liu Concubine interrupted, Chen Ajiao stepped forward again and said something in Dou's ear, and the atmosphere of the Longevity Hall slowly eased. Women can always find topics together, these are the four women with the most status in the Han Dynasty at present, and what they say is naturally not the gossip of those streets and alleys. Starting from Chen Ajiao's rudeness just now, she talked about a very important matter.

"Hey! The emperor has been married for several years, and he has never had an heir, this is not a trivial matter! The mourning family must not watch our Liu family have no heirs, Jiao'er, you say, what is going on? ”

"Imperial Grandmother......!" Chen Ajiao lowered her head shyly.

The Queen Mother Wang nodded: "Yes!" Emperor Xian had eighteen sons, Emperor Wen also had sixteen sons, the emperor has been married for three years, and he is eighteen this year, so it stands to reason that he should have been a father a long time ago. ”

Chen Ajiao turned her head and glanced at the Queen Mother, her face couldn't hold it. The Queen Mother is obviously saying that she is not angry, how can Chen Ajiao bear it? changed the shyness just now, gritted his teeth and said, "Can I be blamed for this?" The emperor can't go to my Jiaofang Hall three times in a month, and he still sits and leaves, what can I do if I don't have children? ”

"This emperor is too unusual!" When Dou Shi heard this, he was angry: "Then what does he do every day?" ”

"With his own soldiers, I go to Shanglin Yuan every day, and I don't come back for several days when I go, and when I come back, I look at the horses, and I don't pay attention to me at all!" Chen Ajiao said very aggrieved, muttering that she was about to cry.

"That's also because you have a bad temper!" Concubine Liu said suddenly, and all the people in the Longevity Hall were stunned, and they didn't expect that Princess Guantao would say that the queen was not.

In the past, as long as the queen complained, Princess Liu of Guantao would definitely protect her daughter. The most normal situation is that the Empress Dowager, Liu Xuan, and Chen Ajiao are all aimed at the Empress Dowager. But today, for the first time, Liu Concubine did not speak for her daughter.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Liu with some discomfort: "My sister is serious, Jiao'er is a good child!" ”

Liu Yan shook her head: "She is my daughter, I know, I was spoiled when I was at home, you remember that you are now the queen, the emperor's wife, you can no longer make your previous temperament, make the emperor angry at every turn, can Che'er like to go to Jiaofang Palace?" ”

"Mother!" Chen Ajiao was even more aggrieved: "It's his reluctance to come, it's not my fault!" ”

"Alright, alright!" On one side is his daughter, on the other side is his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, Dou persuaded him: "The matter between husband and wife, let them deal with it as a young couple, Guantao?" What are you doing today? ”

Liu Concubine hurriedly threw down Chen Ajiao, came to Dou's side with a smile, and said with a smile on Dou's ear for a while. Liu Concubine was happy to say it, but Dou Shi heard it strangely. After Liu Concubine finished speaking, Dou Shi said lightly: "You really mean this?" ”

Liu Concubine hurriedly said: "This is naturally what my daughter meant, and the queen mother also said that our Liu family's country cannot be inherited by no one, and it has been a few years since Che'er and Jiao'er got married, if there is no movement in this palace, I am afraid that those ministers and princes will talk nonsense, and it is not good if it tarnishes Che'er's reputation!" ”

Dou nodded: "That's right, but that Dong Zhongshu is a Confucian student!" ”

"The queen mother doesn't know, although Dong Zhongshu is a Confucian student, his daughter has been taken away by the master since she was six years old, and she has not been in contact for more than ten years, and she only came back two years ago, and her daughter has sent someone to inquire, everything is very proper."

"Mother, what do you say to the imperial grandmother?" Chen Ajiao could tell that the meaning of her words was wrong.

Concubine Liu glared at Chen Ajiao: "I'll talk to your imperial grandmother about things, don't interfere!" ”

The Queen Mother heard some truths, she never believed that Concubine Liu would have such good intentions, who knew what conspiracy there was. Liu Che has been on the throne for several years, and there is only one woman in the harem, Queen Chen Ajiao. Whenever Liu Che has any trouble, Liu Concubine and Chen Ajiao will make a big fuss, and even sue the Queen Mother. As a result, her Queen Mother and Emperor Liu Che were reprimanded by the Queen Mother. Today, the sun actually came out of the west, how could Liu Concubine take the initiative to send a woman to Liu Che?

The queen mother smiled: "Yes, the emperor should have a few more concubines to help the queen control it." ”

"Dare!" Chen Ajiao shouted, didn't put the queen mother in her eyes at all, pointed at the queen mother and said angrily: "Who dares to bring a woman to the palace?" I'll break his legs! ”

"Presumptuous! How to talk to the Queen Mother? Liu Yan glared.

Chen Ajiao looked in disbelief: "Mother, she wants to find a few more women for the emperor, you don't care, and you still scold me?" ”

The Queen Mother stopped talking, and sat there quietly. Liu Yan glared at her daughter, looking like she hated iron but not steel, how to say that it was also the queen mother, the emperor's mother, that is, Chen Ajiao's mother. As a daughter-in-law, she talked to the Queen Mother like this, and it would be impossible not to punish her, even if the Queen Mother had no power and majesty.

"Smack!" This slap was loud and crisp, and it hit Chen Ajiao's face firmly.

Chen Ajiao was stunned, she never imagined that her mother would beat her anyway. In the past, when I encountered this kind of thing, it was Liu Yan who made a fool of her, but today she actually beat her. Chen Ajiao covered her face: "Imperial grandmother, she beat me!" You'll have to make the decision for me, they're going to find a woman for the emperor and beat me!" ”

"Well played!" Dou sat stunned: "I am a Han dynasty based on filial piety, I have never heard of the queen daring to stop the emperor from choosing a woman to enter the palace, not to mention that the queen mother is sitting below, and she is also your mother, how can you talk to your mother?" ”

Chen Ajiao was completely stunned, everything had changed, no one helped her not to say anything, and she blamed herself one by one. I fell to the ground and cried very sadly. It's a pity that no matter how she cries or how sad she cries, no one pays attention to her.

Dou said: "This matter is settled, find an opportunity to bring Dong Zhongshu's daughter into the palace to let the mourning family and the queen mother meet, if it is good, stay!" ”

Concubine Liu was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Oh!" Son, I'll arrange it. ”

Hearing that Concubine Liu was about to find someone, Chen Ajiao suddenly got up, wiped her tears, and shouted loudly: "I will never let that person surnamed Dong enter the palace!" With a flick of the sleeves of her robe, she left the Longevity Hall with her maids and palace spirits.

Su Ren's white horse flew over on all fours, eager to enter Chang'an City immediately. Guantao Princess Liu Concubine actually came up with such an idea, this move is very ruthless, it can be said that it is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which not only hits him Su Ren, but also may make Su Ren and Liu Che mortal enemies. Tomorrow is the day Dong Qian enters the palace, and she must rush back to Chang'an tonight.

Hawking took the reins of the horse and wiped the sweat on his head: "There are still ten miles, big brother, let's take a rest, shall we?" It's been a whole day, and you can go back to the city before dark! ”

Su Ren didn't stop, rushed past Hawking, turned his head and shouted: "No, you have to go into the city!" Walk briskly, go into the city and rest again. ”

Walking slowly, finally at the moment when the city gate was closed, Su Ren and the others returned to Chang'an.
