After crossing the Yangtze River and resting for two days in Chaisang City, everyone continued their journey.

There were a large number of officers and soldiers stationed along the route, and it was very safe.

Dong Xi personally led the troops to send the princess and her party to Liling County; Fan Neng and Zhang Ying led their troops to wait here early.

Due to the agreement reached between You Heng and Guo Yan and others, Zang Ba discussed with Xu Chu and decided that Xu Chu would lead 800 officers and soldiers in the camp, and Zang Ba would lead 700 cavalry.

With so many troops stationed on the border, the eldest princess didn't worry about her safety.

Fan Neng and Zhang Ying led the troops to escort them to the border before returning to the jurisdiction.

At the end of November, the crowd arrived at Changsha City.

And the people arranged by Guo Yan in advance sent back news one after another, reporting the princess's itinerary.

Liu Xie led the officials to greet him at the city gate, and the queen Fushou and the children also followed; Guo Yan and the others did not allow them to go to a distance to greet them, and they were too far away from the city, and it was easy to lose control.

The long procession, several miles long, is spectacular.

The eldest princess got out of the carriage from a long distance, led a child in one hand, and walked towards the gate of the city; Xu Chu followed closely beside him, and behind him were eight hundred heavily armed officers and soldiers of the trapping camp.

Zang Ba led 7700 to take care of the carriage and 200 oxen, as well as the horses trapped in the camp.

Appear orderly.

The eldest princess and Liu Xie recognized each other from a distance; When they walked in, they were relatively silent, and tears flowed first.

When they separated, Liu Xie was only 9 years old, and it has been more than ten years.

The officials paid attention to the princess Wan Nian, who was no longer as young as she was at the beginning, and was already a middle-aged woman, fatter than before.

Guo Yan and the others paid attention to those guards, who were so strong that they were daunting.

Half a day later, the eldest princess reacted, and immediately pulled the two children together to perform the royal courtesy.

Liu Xie hurriedly asked the queen to pull up the eldest princess.

The city gate is not a place to speak, Liu Xie asked the eldest princess to stay in the post house first, and then enter the palace to speak.

The eldest princess insisted on living in the barracks, and she felt safe when she lived with the soldiers.

Everyone had no choice but to order Liu Yu and Huang Wan to accompany them into the barracks, and arrange for a pause before entering the palace.

That's a very high specification.

Many carriages also entered the barracks first.

The wine, meat and other materials carried were sent to the palace first.

Guo Yan and Li Yu were afraid that they would conspire, so they also attended the banquet in the evening.

The banquet was quite lively, and the queen and children also participated.

Due to the presence of Li Yu and Guo Yan, some words were difficult to say, and the children became the talking points of the banquet.

The two children brought by the eldest princess of Wan Nian, the boy is named Feng Yi, who is four years old, and the girl is named Feng Yu, who is six years old; The two children are chubby, like porcelain dolls, healthy and cute.

Feng Yi stopped eating after a few bites, and shouted that it was not delicious; In comparison, Liu Xie's children ate very satisfied.

This is surprising, no matter what, this is made by the masters of the palace, who have served the first emperor.

Feng Yi said: "It's not as delicious as the food in my father's barracks." ”

Princess Wannian hurriedly explained: "Don't believe the words of the child. ”

Such a cute child, everyone likes to play with it.

Liu Xie asked, "Ah Yi, do you like your father or your mother?" ”

Feng Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I like my mother here, and I like my father when I am at home." ”

"Why?"

"You don't have to read books to study when you're here; When I was at home, as long as I went to my father's barracks, I not only had delicious food, but I didn't have to read and read. ”

It is not easy to express this at such a young age.

Liu Xie asked, "Did you start reading at such a young age?" Can you hold the book? ”

The eldest princess explained: "In Luoyang City, there are almost no residents, and only a few generals with troops have children, so they got together and let Dr. Dongguan enlighten them. The books used are all made of paper, very lightweight, and they are enlightenment books, illustrated and illustrated, and this time they brought a cart of various books to be sent to the palace tomorrow. ”

The crowd was overjoyed, they had only heard of such books before, and they were said to be very expensive, and each volume cost ten times, but now they had a car, and they could see it too.

Liu Xie asked, "Is it expensive?" ”

"In the early days, it was very expensive, and it cost more than a dozen per volume, but now it is cheaper, and each volume is only a few dozen yuan."

Everyone was even more shocked, if so, wouldn't the cost of reading be very low? The number of scholars in the world will surely multiply, no wonder Wei Gong does not wait to see readers, so it is.

Guo Yan interjected and asked, "Ah Yi, what is delicious in my father's barracks?" ”

"It's a lot, it's different every time, and I want to eat it after eating it once."

The next day, the eldest princess ordered Zang Ba to send supplies into the palace in batches.

On the third day, let Zang Ba send the gifts that should be given to the ministers from house to house; Even those with the lowest positions have different types and values of gifts.

As for Guo Yan and Li Yu, each has 500 gold, 70 cows per person, and the remaining 40 cows are for the palace and the ministers.

Although he didn't wait to see the ambush, the eldest princess still gave him a gift, but the value was much lower.

The eldest princess hopes that this will allow Guo Yan and Li Yu to treat Liu Xie's family well.

With so many gifts distributed, no one in Changsha City praised the eldest princess.

The eldest princess of Wan Nian also ordered Zang Ba to feast on her behalf to the ministers in Changsha City, as well as Guo Yan and Li Yu and others.

The dishes made by the chef in the barracks were very delicious, indeed surpassing the palace banquet, and everyone believed that what Feng Yi said was true.

Liu Xie also set up a family banquet in the palace to entertain the eldest princess, and the others had no excuse to continue to participate; Once all the attendants have stepped down, they can speak freely.

After learning about the affairs of Luoyang and Feng Yong's attitude, Liu Xie felt that the imperial court was completely hopeless.

The eldest princess took out Gao Shun's reply, Liu Xie sighed after reading it, but he thought in his heart that the words of these people were the most untrustworthy and must not be believed, maybe this was just a small trick played by Gao Shun.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xie made a bold decision to let the eldest princess take his youngest son away.

The son is less than a year old, and Fu Shou is very reluctant.

Liu Xie explained bitterly that he, the former empress Dong Bai and Dong Guiren's children were all killed, and if he continued to keep the children by his side, his life would be difficult to protect; This is also a precaution; While speaking, Liu Xie burst into tears; Several children have been killed in a row, and the pain can be imagined, and it is helpless to do so.

The eldest princess of Wan Nian also cried, nodded and agreed to Liu Xie's request.

Queen Fushou had to accept it silently, hoping that her son could live happily and healthily.

Liu Xie named the child Feng He; for his name is Bohe.

Originally, the eldest princess planned to spend the New Year here, but the atmosphere here was too depressing, and the two children didn't like it here, so they set off for Luoyang in mid-December, ending this short trip to the south.

Leaving the city gate, the eldest princess took the child into the carriage, tears couldn't stop flowing, looking at Feng He who was sleeping in her arms, I don't know if he will have the opportunity to see his biological parents in his lifetime?
