"If I knew this, it would have been better to stay in Qiantang in the first place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Queen Xu sighed faintly, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window with her eyes blankly: "It's going to snow again, it's really cold this day." ”

Mrs. Bu glanced out the window, pursed her lips and smiled: "If it snows or not, can it still freeze you?" When did you also learn the sour spirit of those scribes, and borrowed the scenery to be lyrical. ”

Queen Xu stiffened her face and glared at Mrs. Bu, but after a while, she couldn't help laughing: "I said trainer, you are really getting more and more bitter now, I just said that the weather is a little cold, why is it sour." ”

Mrs. Bu smiled and said nothing. Queen Xu is in a bad mood, how can she be in a good mood. Sun Quan has just accepted a new Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang is young and beautiful, she is from Langya, I don't know how she entered the palace, but she is very competitive, she was pregnant in less than a month after entering the palace, and just gave birth to a son a few days ago, this is Sun Quan's third son, and he has not yet taken a name. Sun Quan's face finally showed a smile after a year of haze, and as soon as he finished handling official business in the past two days, he ran to Mrs. Wang's palace, saying that he was going to see his son, not only Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu rarely saw each other here, but even Mrs. Nanyang Wang, who was originally very favored, was tasted, and she lost her temper in her own palace for no reason these days.

And Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu have already lost all their tempers, and the other has never lost their tempers, and they have become the closest people in this palace. Queen Xu did not give birth to a child, the crown prince Sun Deng was her adopted son, after Sun Deng became the prince, he went to Funan for a year, fought a big victory, returned triumphantly, and now works as a supervisor on the Western Front, and the future is bright. Queen Xu also saw hope in her heart, even if she had a thousand complaints, it was just words, in her opinion, her good words would come after all.

Mrs. Bu only gave birth to two daughters, and there is no hope for the queen's position, but this also allows her to live in the palace with peace of mind, and there is no need to beware of others, but Dahu first went to Qiantang, and then went to Funan, in order to be able to fight and be a general, she simply did not come back. This made Mrs. Bu very disappointed, and complained about Dahu's cruelty from time to time.

The two of them gossiped without a match, killing endless time in the palace, and sometimes when they had nothing to say, they were silent, only the small golden-walled clock in the corner of the house rattled. This bell was made by Sun Luban in Qiantang, and it was specially sent back, Mrs. Bu was very proud of it for a while, but now, she only wanted to see her daughter, especially when she heard that the big tiger was fighting with the Funan people outside the West Roll City, she was so scared that she didn't sleep well for a few days, and always woke up from her sleep.

"Trainer?"

"Huh?"

"The king is actually very annoying these days." Queen Xu turned her head, and the corners of her eyes, which were already covered with crow's feet, showed a little happiness in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth also curled. Although he is nearly thirty years old, his charm still exists, and his expression still has a bit of the coquettishness of his youth.

"Really?" Mrs. Step replied unintentionally.

"Well, the king of Yue wrote to the Son of Heaven to hold a conference in the East China Sea and mediate the dispute between Wu Shu at the same time. The sailors of the Yue State have gathered in Qiantangkou, and the iron cavalry of the Wei State is also rushing to the Jianghuai area, if the Shu State wants to come, it must pass through the river, and the letter of state was handed over half a month ago, but the king has not yet made a decision. He was afraid that King Yue's mediation would be fake, and it would be true to take the opportunity to attack Wu. If this is the case, the Son of Heaven will come forward, and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Yue will attack Wu together, but I am afraid that Wu will not last for half a year. ”

The corners of Madame Bu's eyes twitched, and she was silent, and after a long while, she said, "Do you think it will be like this?" ”

"How do I know?" Mrs. Xu waved her hand lazily, and said with a smile indifferently: "I'm a woman, I don't know what these men are thinking in their hearts." When they are strong, they want to rob other people's land and other people's women, and when they see that others are strong, they start to worry about their land and women being robbed by others, which is really tiring. ”

Mrs. Bu's mouth moved, she didn't speak, she thought about it and smiled lightly. Xu knew that Sun Deng and Sun Shao had a good relationship, this time in Yuenan, Sun Shao sent Guan Feng to help Sun Deng, and Sun Deng did not mention Zhou Yu's matter again, and let the Zhou family go to Yue Country without saying a word, only when this incident did not happen, it was obvious that the two sides had a tacit understanding. With the current situation, I am afraid that Sun Shao will not be unfavorable to Wu State, even if it is unfavorable to Wu State, it will be against Sun Quan, not Sun Deng, so the Xu family is not worried, not to mention that her brothers are all officials in Yue State, even if Wu Guo dies, she will not have anything to lose. And Mrs. Bu herself has plans, Sun Shao has always been good to her, now Dahu is still a general by Sun Shao's side, and her son-in-law Zhou Xun is the general of Yue Guo, even if Wu Guo is dead, she can live a comfortable life in Yue Guo, perhaps, she can live more at ease than now. The two of them had a good heart, but they didn't say anything, just glanced at each other, pursed their lips, and laughed understandingly.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, the bell and drum of the warning on the northeast watchtower suddenly rang, and the officials on duty outside were in a panic, Sima Linglie strode in, and clasped his fists under the corridor to salute: "Queen, madam, someone trespasses on the palace forbidden, please sit down with the queen and wife, there are ministers waiting, it will be fine." ”

Queen Xu put away her smile, nodded majestically, and waved her sleeves slightly. Ling Lie turned around and went to the front entrance, and more than a dozen Lang officials each held their weapons and tightly held the palace gate. Mrs. Bu followed in surprise, and looked at Queen Xu suspiciously, Queen Xu knew what she wanted to ask, but she was also confused, and she didn't care about what to say at this time.

The commotion outside was getting closer and louder, and Queen Xu and Madame Bu were a little nervous. Since that time when someone kidnapped the sons of Sun Shao, the king of Yue, and Sun Shu from the palace, the protection of the palace has been very strict, what is wrong today, someone actually broke into the palace? Thinking of Sun Quan's bad mood during this time, Mrs. Bu couldn't help but worry.

"Array!" Ling Lie's somewhat nervous voice came from outside, and it seemed that the people who broke into the palace were indeed coming this way. Mrs. Bu's face tightened, and she pulled Queen Xu and walked back, preparing to avoid it for the time being, so as not to accidentally hurt the two sides. Queen Xu was just about to follow her, when she suddenly heard a shout outside: "Princess! ”

"Get out of the way!" A familiar voice shouted: "Little erector, I haven't beaten you for a year, you are bold, dare to stop me?" ”

Before the words fell, Mrs. Bu had already rushed out, without her usual gentle and virtuous appearance, she rushed to the door like a gust of wind, and shouted before she saw anyone: "Big Tiger, is it you?" ”

"Mother, it's me." Sun Luban stretched out his hand to pull away the stunned Ling Lie and Lang officials, strode over, threw himself into Mrs. Jin's arms like a bird, hugged Mrs. Bu tightly, and before she could speak, tears welled up.

Mother and daughter burst into tears.

Sima Zhuyi came with dozens of Lang officials all the way, and when he saw Ling Lie standing at the door, he quickly stopped, and asked breathlessly: "Captain Ling, where did the thief go, did you startle Madame?" ”

Ling Lie shook his head: "It's okay, it's the eldest princess who is back, let the watchtower disarm the alarm, otherwise the king will be angry." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yi was taken aback: "It's the eldest princess?" ”

"Celestial Princess, indeed." While dispersing the crowd, Ling Lie frowned and asked, "What's the matter, why is the eldest princess so nervous when she returns to the palace?" ”

Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, and slapped his thigh in frustration. He is the eldest son of Zhu Huan, the governor of the wet beard, and he has only entered the palace not long ago, because of Zhu Huan, he was promoted very quickly and has already achieved Sima, but he has not seen Sun Luban. Listening to the Lang official who guarded the palace gate, someone beat the Lang official who guarded the palace and broke into the palace, he was so frightened that he didn't have time to ask in detail, and immediately ordered a warning, and he chased after the Lang officials. Unexpectedly, this thief was very familiar with the situation in the palace, and he ran fast, and he chased after him all the way, but he still didn't keep up. Now that he heard that it was the eldest princess Sun Luban, he breathed a sigh of relief. But when I thought that I had made such a big mistake, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and I didn't know how to face Sun Quan's questioning after a while.

He stood for a while, looked at Sun Luban's entourage who had just arrived with a gift at this time, shook his head with a wry smile, and went back dejectedly.

Mrs. Bu and Sun Luban hugged their heads and cried, and it was easy to stop crying, Sun Luban wiped his tears embarrassedly, touched the head of his sister Sun Luyu, who came after hearing the sound, and ordered someone to bring the gift up. More than a dozen guards carried a few large boxes to the courtyard, opened the lid, and suddenly a piece of jewelry, just a touch of sunlight shot out of the thick clouds, just shining on one of the boxes, suddenly brilliant, Sun Luyu screamed in surprise for a while, pounced, took out a string of large and round pearl bracelets from the box, held it in the palm of his hand, and couldn't put it down: "Mother, it's so beautiful, I want this ......"

"Silly boy, I have never seen the world!" Mrs. Bu smiled and glanced at Sun Luyu, and then glared at Sun Luban: "Did you go to be a general, or did you go to be a pirate?" How did you bring back so many belongings? ”

Sun Luban laughed: "Mother, I'm a general, but it's almost the same as being a pirate." Don't you know, there are too many treasures in those wild lands to count, and those wild children are like monkeys, and they don't even wear clothes, but maybe they are playing with a gem in their hands. I went to the South China Sea with my eldest brother and received so many gifts, and when I came back this time, I brought them all to my mother and sister. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Bu couldn't believe it, but Sun Luban had always been bad at lying, and she was jubilant at the moment, so she believed it a little. She asked people to put the box away, and looked at Sun Luban at the same time. Sun Luban has grown a lot taller, his body is strong and strong, and he is full of strength, like a young female leopard, in the eyes of Mrs. Bu, who has stayed in the palace all the year round, Sun Luban has a unique wild spirit all over his body. The original white skin has also turned barley-colored, and his hands are almost the same as before, and his fingers and stomachs are full of calluses.

"Yo, my princess is back." A voice sounded at the door, and immediately after, Sun Quan, whose face was gloomy, appeared at the door. When Mrs. Bu and the others saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Sun Luban also saluted, but before Sun Quan let her get up, he rushed up, took Sun Quan's hand, and got to Sun Quan to look at it carefully for a while, and then said seriously: "Father, you have lost weight." Then he nodded heavily and said again: "I've really lost weight." ”

Before the words fell, the tears that had just stopped couldn't help but gush out again.

Sun Quan couldn't laugh or cry. He was looking at his newborn son in Mrs. Wang's palace, when he suddenly heard the warning, he was so frightened that he almost threw the son he was holding on the ground, and then he was furious, rushed out of the palace to take someone, and rushed all the way over, only then did he know that Sun Luban had returned. was about to sink his face and get angry, but when he saw Sun Luban caring about him so much, his heart softened, he raised his hand, touched Sun Luban's head, and patted it gently: "Silly, either you won't come back, and as soon as you come back, you will be scared of my father, I thought you came back with a large army, and you made such a big noise." ”

Sun Luban burst into tears, raised his hand and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "Father's forgiveness, it was the daughter who was anxious and broke through the palace gate and disturbed her father. However, those officials were too slow to react, and if their daughter wanted to kill them, they were afraid that they wouldn't even have time to draw their knives. ”

"What? You still want to kill? Sun Quan's face sank, and he deliberately lowered his face.

"Where, how dare a daughter go wild in her father's palace." Sun Luban said with a flattering smile, turned around and dragged Sun Quan to the box, and patted it vigorously: "Father, look, this is a gift from my daughter to my father." ”

"For me?" Sun Quan smiled: "Why did I just hear that it was for your mother?" ”

"Isn't what was sent to my father to my mother?" Sun Luban was very surprised and said: "Could it be that what I gave to my father, my father will give it to other ladies?" ”

Sun Quan was immediately very embarrassed. This tiger daughter is really impossible to deal with. He had to pretend to be interested and look at the contents of the box for a while, and slowly, the smirk on his face turned into doubt: "Big Tiger, is this really what you got in the South China Sea?" ”

Sun Luban glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh with a "snort": "Can this still deceive my father?" ”

Sun Quan stroked his beard, his eyes flickered, he didn't speak, and turned to Mrs. Bu, who was a little at a loss, and said, "Trainer, don't you invite me in to sit?" ”

Mrs. Bu came back to her senses at this time, and with her excitement, she hurriedly asked people to clean up, and personally invited Sun Quan to enter the room, and invited Queen Xu, who was also a little overwhelmed, to sit with Sun Quan. Sun Quan hadn't come to her for a long time, and Sun Luban had made such a big fuss, she thought that Sun Quan was going to take the opportunity to be angry, so she forgot to invite Sun Quan to sit in for a while.

Mrs. Bu asked people to serve tea, and while Sun Luban was talking to Sun Quan, she asked people to brew the new tea she had just brought back, and said to Sun Quan with a smile: "Father, this is the tea I specially brought to you, the taste is so good, even in Temu City, it is not easy to drink." ”

Sun Quan nodded with interest: "Then I want to taste it, my big tiger knows filial piety, and he has traveled all the way to bring me tea." ”

"That's right, I can be a filial daughter." Sun Luban patted his chest and said.

"Poof!" Sun Quan just took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but squirt out all the tea in his mouth, and choked and coughed a few times. Mrs. Bu hurriedly handed a handkerchief to Queen Xu, who looked at her gratefully and handed the handkerchief to Sun Quan. Sun Quan didn't look at her, took the handkerchief and wiped his beard stained with tea, and couldn't help but smile: "Big Tiger, can you still enter the legend of filial piety?" In order to be a general, you don't even want to go back to Wu Guo, what kind of filial piety are you? ”

"Hey, hey......" Sun Luban smiled awkwardly: "Father, Wu Yue is a family, how can they be separated?" Wu Guo is peaceful, the daughter will go to Yue to play for a few days, when the father can use the daughter, the daughter will definitely come back to help the father, never say a word. ”

"Then what if Wu Yue goes to war?" Sun Quan took another sip of tea and said half-jokingly, "Who are you helping?" ”

"Wu Yue goes to war?" Sun Luban was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face suddenly became a little stiff, she looked at Sun Quan with an unfamiliar look, and said hesitantly: "Father, have you ever thought about fighting with your eldest brother?" ”

"This ......" Sun Quan also hesitated a little, rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "I just said in case, I don't have this plan." Besides, now that Wu Yue's strength is so different, how can I want to go to war with your eldest brother. ”

"And what if you have the strength?" Sun Luban asked reluctantly: "Is it going to be a war with the eldest brother?" ”

Sun Quan was speechless for a while.

Seeing that Sun Quan was embarrassed, Mrs. Bu lowered her face and glared at Sun Luban, and shouted: "Big Tiger, what nonsense, Wu Yue Tonggen, your father treats your eldest brother like he has come out, how can he go to war with him." ”

"Yes, yes, I treat him like a son, how can I go to war with him." Sun Quan echoed insincerely.

Sun Luban looked at Mrs. Bu, and then at Sun Quan, the suspicion on his face slowly faded, and he smiled again, clapped his hands and smiled happily: "As expected, my father, like my eldest brother, never thought of being an enemy." ”

Sun Quan nodded again and again, but smiled a little unnaturally: "Yes, yes, it should be so." By the way, Big Tiger, did he say the same thing? You say I'll listen, what he said. ”

Sun Luban let go of his throat, laughing, and the hearty laughter echoed in the hall, and the somewhat dead hall was suddenly full of life. Mrs. Bu looked at her daughter with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then looked at Sun Quan, but Sun Luyu's pretty eyes kept falling on her sister's face, and she didn't seem to dare to believe that the heroic woman in front of her who looked familiar, but was a little unfamiliar, was really her sister. Although when Sun Luban was in the palace in the past, he often carried a knife and a sword, took a group of children of about the same age to play and fight, and beat a group of boys to the ground, but Sun Luban in front of him was not only so rough and atmospheric, but also had a bit of compelling power in his gestures, which made her feel a little nervous, as if she was facing a dangerous person.

Sun Luban's eyebrows fluttered and he said an interesting story about Sun Shao, and then he couldn't hold his mouth, starting with Zhou Xun and Wei Ping's recovery of Linyi Kingdom, until he talked about this inspection of the South China Sea, and finally said: "I heard that Wu Shu started a war, and the eldest brother was very worried. Although with the heroism of his father, he will definitely not lose to Shu, but the two sides are originally a country of in-laws, and it is not a good thing to start a war over a trivial matter. Even if the father wins the flag and approaches Wushan, I am afraid that the loss will not be small. If Wu Shu loses both, Wei will definitely take advantage of the gap, so he tries his best to persuade peace. He was afraid that his father's face would be gloomy, so he specially invited the Son of Heaven to come forward and issue an edict to Wu Shu to negotiate, and this time he put the location of the alliance in Wu State, so that Shu State and Wei State became a guest army, and then Wu Yue cooperated to show the prestige of my Sun family in front of the Son of Heaven, so that Wei Shu did not dare to underestimate us. ”

Sun Quan smiled faintly, of course he didn't believe Sun Luban's words. Sun Shao through the hand of the Son of Heaven, issued an edict at the mouth of the Yangtze River to meet the alliance, Wei King Cao Ying excused that he was not in good health and did not come, Liu Bei has not yet expressed his position, but only deduced that Wu did not declare a truce, he could not enter the enemy's territory, and it was estimated that he would not come, but he had no reason, the Son of Heaven came to his territory, if he did not come forward to greet him, he was afraid that he would give people a handle, if Sun Shao wanted to borrow to trigger Biao, it would be troublesome. With the strength of Wu, it was impossible to stop the alliance of the three kingdoms of Yueshu and Wei.

So Sun Luban's return, is it Sun Shao's instruction? Are these words Sun Shao's true words, or are they Sun Shao's lies? Sun Quan listened to Sun Luban with a smile while thinking nervously in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, his living environment has not been good, twenty years ago, Sun Ce died suddenly, when he hurriedly succeeded to the throne, it was internal and external troubles, and there were many dangers, so it was easy to stabilize the situation, not only pacified the civil strife, but also conquered Jiangxia, killed Huang Zu, avenged his father, and won a little capital for himself, but he didn't expect Cao Ying to pacify Jingzhou at a lightning speed, and the 800,000 army waved eastward, that time, Sun Quan thought it would be difficult to escape, Even important ministers like Zhang Zhao persuaded him to surrender, it was he who withstood the pressure, used Lu Su and Zhou Yu, defeated Cao Ying, and defeated Cao Ying's delusion of dominating the world, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be an ungrateful guy again, not only treacherous and took Yizhou privately, but also fought with him for Jingzhou and became his enemy. Circling between the two enemies of Cao Ying and Liu Bei, Sun Quan tried his best, endured humiliation and burden, asked Cao Ying to surrender many times, and finally resolved the crisis again and again. When Cao Ying invaded Hanzhong for the second time, Sun Quan was optimistic that since then, the situation of three points in the world has been determined, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In three or four years, Sun Shao went from being the least powerful of the four kings to a great power that could compete with Wei, while Wu became the most dangerous one.

The situation is even more dangerous than twenty years ago, but Sun Quan obviously feels that his energy is insufficient, and in the face of the same predicament, he cannot be as scrappy as he was twenty years ago. He's old.

Maybe his body is okay, but his heart is old, and he seems to struggle and can't find a way to break the game.

Sun Quan bowed his waist, squinted his eyes, looked at the suddenly bright and gloomy sky outside the window, his expression was dazed, Sun Luban's loud voice slowly faded away, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu were also like shadows, slowly getting lighter and fainter, I don't know when, Sun Quan suddenly found that the changing clouds in the sky had turned into a face, a smiling face, a smile that made him angry at first sight.
