With the support of the magnates and courtiers of Chang'an, Li Chengning ascended the throne less than a month later, and the name of the year was taken from the words of Zuo Chuan, which was called the first year of the Apocalypse (about 714 years of the Western Era). )

He moved from the prince's mansion into the Penglai Hall of the Daming Palace, and the new widow of the Gao family and not Li Chengning's biological mother moved to the Chengxiang Palace, although the Chengxiang Palace lived in the Princess Jincheng, and the Princess Taiping also recuperated here, but the scale was large enough to live.

And the first emperor Li Shouli, those wives and nine concubines, Jieyu, etc., are tragic, those who have children are okay, and they are allowed to go out of the palace to live with the princes and princesses in the garden, and those who have no children and no power are sent to live in the Yeting Palace in the west of the Taiji Palace, which is equivalent to a cold palace, and they can only live there in seclusion until they are old. By this time, the center of power had completely moved eastward to the Daming Palace, the Taiji Palace had become a deserted palace, and the status of the eastern capital had gradually declined after the Caoyun reform, and the dry and comfortable Daming Palace in Chang'an had become more and more densely populated.

Those concubines, like everything else in the world, can be abandoned in a corner to fend for themselves once they lose power, and the living space only belongs to those who are active on the stage of history.

Daming Palace has been very busy recently, and there are a lot of big affairs when the regime is leaving the old and welcoming the new, and Xue Chongxun went home after participating in the new monarch's enthronement ceremony.

He noticed the abandoned NV people who had been driven to the Yeting Palace, and at this time, he was probably the only one who noticed this kind of thing. There are always times when you feel a little uncomfortable, is it sentimental? I think of a poem: Silver candle autumn light cold painting screen, light Luo iǎ fan fluttering fireflies. Sky step night - cool as water, lying down to watch morning glory weaving NV star...... But feelings are one thing; Actual decision-making is another matter, and when it is necessary to do so, he even seems a little cold and heartless. Because people can't be immersed in those poignancy and self-pity, poetry and reality are two different things.

When he returned home, a servant came to report that Liu Shilang (Liu An) of Luoyang had sent a messenger to wait in the living room on the other side of the inverted hood, and he had to see the king of Jin himself.

What's going on in Dongdu? Xue Chongxun's first thought was this. Because in the past, Liu An sent letters to Chang'an, all of them were sent to the steward of the palace, and then put them in Xue Chongxun's living room; This time I have to meet in person, it must be something important.

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun went straight to the inverted room to meet the guests, and there were two people waiting there, and after the ceremony, he presented a box.

Xue Chongxun accepted the things and asked the slaves to arrange food and lodging, and then returned to Luoyang after taking the reply letter to Liu An.

After sending the messenger, he opened the box, and suddenly there was a jewel in front of him, but he saw a jewel under the letter. Because the living room was not closed, Xue Chongxun took out the letter and closed the box...... After all, it is not a glorious thing to receive money from officials. The letterhead was naturally written vertically and without punctuation, Xue Chongxun probably skimmed through it, and only mentioned the matter of jewelry at the end. It was said that Luoyang Zhu Dahu sent it, because he saw that the inlaid with strange pearl treasures was too valuable, so he did not dare to keep it privately, and sent it to Chang'an.

What Liu An sent, Xue Chongxun didn't have anything difficult to receive, but the reason for sending things was too far-fetched, and why did he send such a valuable thing when he didn't celebrate the New Year's holidays?

After a while, Xue Chongxun naturally realized: Liu An may be interested in entering the court. At this time, just after the coup d'état, the new monarch ascended to the pole, and was killed by the soldiers before Cui Xiang, the secretary of the household department...... Liu An is currently the head of the household department and the transfer envoy, and he is sent to the eastern capital to govern Caoyun, and the qualifications and abilities for the vacant central position are enough, and the key is the person who took refuge in Xue Chongxun in the early days.

He thought that it was indeed a good thing to let Liu An enter the political hall, and now the palace and the northern government were basically on his side, leaving the three provinces and six departments of the southern government, among which the prime minister's and hundreds of officials were particularly important, and the Duo'an family was of course the best way to control the political institutions.

Xue Chongxun sat next to the coffee table and pondered for a while, his fingers tapping lightly on the board unconsciously. Thinking of this, he stood up, picked up the box and went back to the inner house, and naturally accepted the things.

As soon as he entered the building, he met the Sun family, because he was an elder and someone was present, Xue Chongxun hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Mother-in-law is fine." ”

Sun showed a smile, pointed to the box in Xue Chongxun's hand and said, "What are you holding?" ”

"Oh......" Xue Chongxun pondered for a while.

Last time, I came back from Longyou and brought some jewelry sent by the Tuyuhun people to my wife and concubine, and I didn't give Sun's jewelry in order to distinguish it, but I later learned that Sun's liked gold and silver jewelry very much, but I was a little sorry. Now this thing Liu An gave seems to be a necklace or something, he hasn't had time to look at it yet, anyway, jewelry and the like are the same to him, just know the value left and right. He didn't have much use for this kind of jewelry, and he didn't have the enthusiasm to collect it, let alone sell it for money with gifts from others...... I think I can't use it if I keep it, anyway, the Sun family is a member of the family, so I will give it to her.

Xue Chongxun couldn't say that it was sent by the minister, so he avoided talking about the source, and directly handed over the box: "Please let my mother-in-law help." ”

"What is this?" Sun took it suspiciously.

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "A little jewelry, because there is only one pair, it seems unfair to others, so I give it to adults, I only have one mother-in-law, right?" ”

Sun said happily: "You bought it for me? It's quite filial. ”

Xue Chongxun was noncommittal and said: "I don't collect jewelry, don't shirk it, please smile." ”

"Then I won't be polite to you, I'll save it for you."

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "It's your thing to give to the adult, but I don't know if it's agreeable...... You can put it on at dinner. ”

The two talked for a while, and then Xue Chongxun went back to the room, and Sun took the gift to the tent room and then went back to the Yuhu Lake. She remembered that Xue Chongxun said that he would wear new jewelry for dinner, which meant that he should have dinner together, so she went back to her room to change her clothes.

Naturally, the jewelry should be matched with the clothes, so she opened the box to see what kind of jewelry it was. As soon as the lid was opened, she saw that the red, red, green and green gems were shining very beautifully, Sun was usually very solemn, but she liked these beautiful jewels very much, and when she saw the luster of the gemstones, she saw that it was a good thing and very valuable, and she was naturally full of joy.

When she turned around and saw that the slaves and maids were not there, she covered her mouth and giggled a few times to herself, and her joy was like that of an iǎnv child.

She reached out and grabbed the jewelry, and saw that there were many chains connected together, and various gems and pearls were worn together with red gold chains...... It's a little strange, she thought it was a necklace when she saw it, but how could there be so many chains in the necklace? Of course, it's not a few necklaces put together, it's a whole that is connected together.

Sun was curious, so he unfolded it with both hands to see what kind of jewelry it was.

After a while, she finally understood, and her face suddenly turned red like a February flower: it was a belly pocket made of bead chains!

How else can I wear this thing? Of course, it is only worn in underwear and attached to the upper body, which is usually invisible at all, and can only be seen when you take off your clothes in the room, and the purpose is to add interest to the room.

Sun hurriedly put away the chain, got up and pulled the upper room and latched it again, his chest rising and falling, fluttering. Xue Chongxun's bad thing, what jewelry is not good to give, send such a shameful thing!

She sat in front of the dresser for a while, and when she happened to see the face in the bronze mirror, she still had a shy expression. Holding the chain in her hand, her mind went up and down, and her mind went blank.

Do you really want to wear it? Wearing it means ...... Sun was very hesitant, after all, what happened to Xue Chongxun was contrary to common sense, and it was already a shameful time for the world to come with someone other than her husband, not to mention that the other party was his own nv son-in-law, which was really a bit dirty.

But when I thought that Xue Chongxun had touched his chest, and he quietly held hands in the study last time, the relationship was already a bit like that, anyway, there wasn't much of this thing, who knew if he wore it inside? As long as you don't take that step...... She kept making excuses for herself. In fact, the very important reason is that she has never seen this kind of jewelry, and she really thinks it is novel, and she already likes jewelry, so she naturally wants to wear it herself.

A trace of sweat appeared in Sun's palms, and after thinking for a while, he finally figured it out: wear it quietly, and when the time comes, find an opportunity to return it to Xue Chongxun, and say that he didn't wear it...... That man must have bad intentions!

Since it's something to wear inside, it naturally doesn't have to be matched with clothes. Sun sat for a while, glanced at the latch to make sure it was done, closed the curtain again, and began to peel off his clothes layer by layer.

Remove all the clothes on your upper body and put on the bead chain, and your skin feels cold for a while, but after a while, those gems will be warmed by the body temperature and no longer iceman.

She didn't put on her clothes right away, but looked at it in the bronze mirror, and before she knew it, her tips rose up.

At the beginning, the weather was still a little cold, and even if there was charcoal in the house, it felt very cold after sitting shirtless for a long time. When Sun looked at it for a while and wanted to take off the chain and put on his clothes, he felt that wearing this chain was very beautiful, and he was a little reluctant, so he gritted his teeth and simply waited for it to be worn inside, and put the shirt on directly.

Packed up, and suddenly someone knocked outside and startled Sun. Although the clothes are all on, I am a little weak when I have just done that secret thing. She hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

The maid's voice said: "Lang Jun sent someone to urge, saying that dinner is ready, let the lady go over to eat together." ”

Sun Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm changing clothes, I'll come out immediately." Your reply to the message will soon pass. ”

Cui replied, "Yes." ”

Sun had already cleaned up, and looked in the mirror again to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then he opened the latch and walked out. Seeing iǎCui, she said, "It's night, so don't change your clothes, and change your clothes tomorrow...... Look, am I any different? ”

Cui looked Sun up and down blankly, shook her head and said, "Madame is still wearing the same clothes as before." ”

"Hmm." Sun nodded calmly and said, "Bring the lantern and let's go." ”A
