Sixteenth year of Jian'an, March, Xiangyang.

Looking at the flowery and bustling city, Cai Wenji felt a light in her eyes.

There is no majestic palace wall like Chang'an, there is no majestic Lishan Mountain, and there is no strict royal weather, if Chang'an is a princess with a noble temperament, here can be regarded as a lady at most, but the clothes worn by the current lady have far surpassed the princess in the luxurious Cheng dù, although this seems to be out of order, but the entire Xiangyang City, and even the entire people under the rule of the King of Chu, who cares about this?

Now, in addition to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, the areas south of the river, and even the upper counties and the second county of the north of the state, have already regarded this small Xiangyang as the center of the world, and even Luoyang, the center of the world, which has a real name, does not dare to underestimate it at all.

Looking at the busy traffic, the endless flow of people, and the happy smiles on people's faces, Cai Wenji's heart was full of strong shock, and at the same time, it was also full of an inexplicable pride: "This prosperous city is no less than Luoyang, its owner has some kind of intimate connection with me, that person used to be quite affectionate to me three years ago, although I don't know if he is empathetic now, but in the future, how worthy of boasting should it be?" ”

Of course, she will never boast about this relationship, because she feels that it should be buried deep in her heart and belong to the unique secrets of the two of them.

Cai Wenji sighed with emotion on his face, and suddenly saw a man in a silver robe and a white horse appear in front of him, this person came to the city gate with his servants, and all the people saluted him respectfully, and shouted respectfully: "King." ”

Just by seeing that person's face, Cai Wenji felt a dry mouth. A heart thumped up uncompetitively, she really didn't know, it had been three years, and she was already a half-old in her thirties, and she had long passed the era of youth and ignorance, and she felt that the relationship had become a piece of history. Why are you so nervous after meeting him?

And at this moment, a pair of eyes were on the face of her, who was standing behind the carriage and the only one who did not salute him, and those eyes showed a hint of surprise and a hint of surprise.

Immediately, the owner of those eyes returned the salute to everyone, then separated the crowd, slowly came to her, arched his hand in surprise and said, "Miss Cai." Why are you here? ”

Cai Wenji's face turned red, and she hurriedly returned the ceremony and said: "The concubine has seen the king, this time the concubine came to see the king, mainly because she has something to ask the king, you know, the two dogs are ......."

"Hehe, I'll talk about it in detail when I get to the palace, and I just want to ask how you did at the beginning?" Liu Qi smiled. personally lifted the sedan curtain and asked Cai Wenji to get in the car. Then he ordered her to walk like a royal palace from the command.

Although he is the world-famous King of Chu, Liu Qi's palace is still based on the former Zhennan General's Mansion as the main body, and then appropriately expanded and rebuilt some, and the momentum is quite inferior to the withered Chang'an Palace, which makes Cai Wenji believe that this man. Indeed, he is a heroic lord who is dedicated to the people and does not seek luxury.

After the two sides took their seats, Liu Qi ordered someone to offer fragrant tea, took a few sips, and then asked, "Miss Cai, how have your mother and son been doing in Chang'an in the past few years?" If you have any requests, please do not hesitate to mention them. I have already said hello to Zhou Gongjin, the assassin of Yongzhou, and I will definitely take special care of you, by the way, you just said that you have something to ask for? Hehe, you don't have to be polite at all, just say something about it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. ”

Cai Wenji's face turned red, and she said to Liu Qichang: "The king doesn't need Miss Cai's name to Miss Cai, you can just call me Wenji." To tell the truth, today the concubine came to see the king, mainly because of the dog, the king also knows that the dog has been educated by the concubine since childhood, and the literacy and hyphenation are also considered to be the initial results, but they are active and martial by nature, and the concubine considers, especially envy the king's means of smashing the enemy army on the battlefield, and the concubine told them that it was the art of war, so they pestered the concubine to learn the art of war, so as to make meritorious contributions in the future, support the Han, and be loyal to the king. But the king knows that the concubine is just a woman, although she is familiar with several military books, but the way of the art of war and the battle formation is to be flexible and adaptable, and the concubine is not in the army, and she does not know how to use soldiers, so she came to ask the king to ......"

"Hehe, it turned out to be such a small thing, I thought it was such a big thing? Isn't it easy? Didn't I send someone directly to send Ling Lang to Jingzhou Academy to study in the military department? As long as they pass the graduation examination, they can directly enter the army and become a grass-roots officer such as a captain or a sergeant, and if they are particularly excellent, they can directly become an official such as a military marquis or military commander, and even be directly promoted to a captain. In fact, you don't have to make a special trip to Miss Wen Ji like this, just send me a letter and you can solve it......."

Liu Qi only cared about talking, but he didn't notice that when he said that Cai Wenji "didn't have to make a special trip", Cai Wenji's face suddenly changed.

"What does he mean he doesn't need me to make a special trip? Could it be that he doesn't want to see me again? Is it because he doesn't have a crush on me anymore? ”

In fact, Liu Qi knew that the reason why Cai Wenji begged him in person was actually because he was afraid that his two sons were descendants of the Huns, and he would not rashly agree, so he said that "you don't need to make a special trip", in fact, he wanted to tell Cai Wenji, he didn't care about these at all, where would he think that Cai Wenji would think of somewhere else?

But Cai Wenji didn't think so, she always insisted that Liu Qi had a deep love for her as early as three years ago, and repeatedly "showed affection" to her, although she didn't agree, and she didn't dare to agree, but she did feel happy that Liu Qi was so "visionary" in her heart, and it was precisely because of this that she gradually became affectionate towards Liu Qi, so that now she is getting deeper and deeper, especially after coming to Xiangyang, only to find that this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and even she can't hold it back.

But now Liu Qi's words undoubtedly poured cold water on her, making her feel bitter in her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly sigh that she was old and no longer had the charm of three years ago.

Liu Qi saw that Cai Wenji was silent, and didn't even say a kind word, he couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, but saw that her face was a little pale and her expression was not good, so he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Miss Wenji, are you okay?" How do I think you look a little bad? Is it due to the tiring ride all the way? Why don't I ask a doctor to show you? ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Cai Wenji to speak, so he ordered: "Please ask the imperial doctor to order Wu Pu to diagnose Miss Wenji." ”

Cai Wenji originally wanted to say lightly: "If the king doesn't care, the concubine is fine." But she still didn't say it, first, she was afraid that her two sons would be repented by Liu Qi, and second, she was afraid of the attendants around Liu Qi, and she didn't dare to be rude in front of people, so as not to make Liu Qi unable to come to the stage.

This Wu Pu is the proud disciple of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, a body of medical skills by Hua Tuo's true transmission, and later benefited from the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing's unique medical skills, although young, but has learned a body that is not weaker than the teacher's medical skills, so Liu Qi worshiped as the imperial doctor's order, specifically for the civil and military officials, Wang Clan Xun personally diagnosed, of course, because this person was influenced by the teacher Hua Tuo, but also often after Liu Qi's permission, in front of the palace for the people free clinic.

But said that after Wu Pu was summoned to the palace, he immediately diagnosed Cai Wenji, he first used a look, and found that Cai Wenji was slightly pale and suspected of anemia, and did not find any problems, and later after questioning, he knew that Cai Wenji had just returned to Xiangyang by car, and it should not be surprising that there were pale signs.

Of course, at that time, although it was much more open than Song Ming, direct contact between men and women was also considered a matter of impropriety, and besides, this woman was a guest of the King of Chu, and she didn't know what her relationship was with the King of Chu, so how could he dare to do this? Therefore, he naturally had to put a thin layer of sterilized and refined pigskin on Cai Wenji's wrist before he dared to take the pulse.

After some diagnosis, Wu Pu said slowly: "King Qiyu, this lady's pale face should be caused by love, there is no big problem, but when the minister was diagnosed with the pulse, he found that this lady's pulse was short and weak, thinking that it was because of the feeling of worry and hurt the lungs, and the result was that the body was weak, if the minister expected it to be good, the lady should cough every afternoon, especially at night and autumn, fortunately, it is only the early stage of the disease, if it is properly conditioned, it will not spread the disease." After a year and a half, it may be cured, but if it continues, once it causes a stagnation, the medicine will be ineffective, and it will not be possible to recover it by manpower. ”

Cai Wenji's body shook slightly when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is right, it's true, but I don't know how to regulate?" ”

Wu Pu glanced at Cai Wenji deeply, and said: "Absolutely worrying, tonifying the lung yin, avoiding cold, avoiding worry, Xiaguan here has a recipe to replenish the lung yin, or it can be helpful, but heart disease still needs heart medicine, Mrs. wants to heal, the most fundamental thing is to pay special attention to the fluctuation of feelings, and especially worry, because this is the source of the lady's illness, according to the lower official, since the lady is emotionally worried, it must be a lovesick thing, why not commit to it?" Why do you suffer so much? The lower officials are only purely from a medical point of view, and if there is any gaffe, please forgive the sin. ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Pu opened a prescription, handed it to Cai Wenji, and arched his hand at Cai Wenji and Liu Qi, and then gently retreated.

When Wu Pu retreated, Liu Qi couldn't help but ask loudly: "Miss Wen Ji turned out to be stubbornly ill because of love, I don't know which son it is?" I can say peace on my behalf. ”

Wu Pu, who was walking towards His Royal Highness, couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly: "This matter is already obvious, looking at this lady's eyes, it is obvious that he has taken a fancy to the king, but he doesn't know anything about it, alas, it's really a strange thing, I really don't know how our king got the favor of the queen and princess?" Could it be that the woman took the initiative? Or is it a marriage formed by Wenhou and his old man? (To be continued......)
