After dealing with the day's court affairs, at dusk, Liu Jing returned to his mansion, the carriage was slowly moving on the street, Liu Jing silently watched the people coming and going on the street, carefully experiencing the prosperity of Chang'an City, and also enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

At this time, the carriage passed by a community temple, Liu Jing saw a few old locust trees in front of the temple from a distance, he felt something in his heart, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Go to Guhuai Mansion!" ”

The carriage turned around and drove towards the ancient Huai Mansion, not long after, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Guhuai Mansion, during Liu Jing's eastern expedition to build a business, Qiao Mansion also had an unfortunate incident, Qiao Xuan unfortunately contracted illness when traveling to Jingnan, died on the way back to Chang'an, and was buried in Nanjun on the spot.

This news made Xiao Qiao very sad, Liu Jing did not dare to tell Da Qiao who was far away in Bashu, after Liu Jing came back from Jiangdong, he had not come to the ancient locust tree, and there was no point in him coming here, Qiao Xuan died of illness, Da Qiao was far away in Chengdu, and the ancient Huai Mansion was an empty house.

It was only when Liu Jing suddenly missed Da Qiao, who was far away in Bashu, that he thought of coming to Guhuai Mansion to take a look and see the courtyard where Da Qiao lived and the room where she left her fragrance.

"Wait here!"

Liu Jing commanded the guards, and walked into the mansion alone, the two old family members who guarded the mansion stood respectfully aside, until they walked into the back house, Liu Jing slowly walked into the west courtyard, which was the courtyard where Da Qiao used to live.

As soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, a little maid in a red dress was hurrying over, she didn't see Liu Jing, she crashed into his arms, Liu Jing helped her and smiled: "If you don't look at the road like this, you will hit the tree next time!" ”

The little maid saw the person in front of her, she screamed in fright, turned around and ran, Liu Jing couldn't help but be stunned, this maid is so familiar, at this moment, a soft voice came from not far away, "So panicked, what happened?" ”

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, how could she be here with this voice? Why did she come back again? This is clearly Da Qiao's voice, he suddenly sped up and walked towards the inner hall, his heart was pounding, stepping into the threshold of the inner hall, Liu Jing saw the woman who made him dream, Da Qiao was wearing a white plain dress, and appeared in front of him.

"General!" Da Qiao also shouted, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.

The two looked at each other like this, no one spoke, tears welled up in Da Qiao's beautiful eyes, he took two quick steps, and threw himself into his arms, Liu Jing hugged her slender shoulders tightly, as if she was still dreaming.

Liu Jing lowered her head and stared at her face, which was cleaner than before, but still so pretty, the snow-white skin, as smooth as jade, the star-like pupils, flashing with joy, Liu Jing finally understood that this was not a dream, she really appeared in front of her.

Joy exploded in his heart, Liu Jing kissed her red lips regardless of a qiē, the little maid quietly came over to pick up the lost handkerchief, but saw the master's mother arms tightly wrapped around the neck of King Han, and the two hugged each other unwillingly, so frightened that her heart was about to jump out, her face was flushed, and she turned around and ran.

Da Qiao had forgotten about it, and was completely immersed in the joy of reuniting with her lover, and after a long time, she lowered her head, dodged Liu Jing's wolf kiss, and panted: "If you hug too tightly, you will press the child!" ”

Liu Jing noticed her obviously bulging lower abdomen, and her heart was happy and apologetic, Da Qiao took Liu Jing's hand, walked quickly to the inner hall, and walked to the living room, she smiled and said: "You sit down, I will pour you tea, I just fried osmanthus fragrant tea, you taste it." ”

Liu Jing took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her to prevent her from leaving, Da Qiao understood his thoughts, and smiled helplessly: "This will be seen, I'll explain to you later, okay?" ”

Her soft voice made Liu Jing unable to refuse, so he had to let go of her, Da Qiao kissed him on the face, and left quickly, Liu Jing stood up, slowly walked to the window, looked at a few blooming evening laurels outside the window, and a burst of fragrance came to his face, but his heart was in chaos, there were too many doubts for him to understand, Da Qiao had obviously gone to Bashu, when would he come back? Was it because her father died?

But it has been three months since Qiao Xuan died, Liu Jing was puzzled, at this time, he suddenly found that there was a figure shaking on the opposite courtyard wall, and if he looked closely, it was actually a female guard, which made Liu Jing realize.

"Did you think of it?" Behind him came Da Qiao's soft voice.

Liu Jing turned around, only to see Da Qiao with a pot of tea appeared behind him, his eyes were as clear as water, looking calm and tranquil, Liu Jing sat down, Da Qiao poured him a cup of tea, steaming, exuding the fragrance of osmanthus, she pursed her lips and smiled: "This is the evening laurel picked at noon today, fried with Bashu's Mengding tea and well water, there is a refreshing fragrance, you taste it." ”

Liu Jing took a sip of tea, suddenly stopped, and asked, "She brought you back?" ”

"Don't say 'she', it's the eldest sister who went to Chengdu to pick me up in person."

"In person?" Liu Jing was stunned.

Da Qiao nodded, tears couldn't help but welled up again, "She is the kindest and most tolerant woman I have ever seen, when she appeared in Chengdu, I was stunned, I thought she was here to punish me, but no, she was not angry, treated me like a sister, but took all the responsibility on her own head, she blamed herself, saying that she left me alone in Chengdu and took me back." ”

Liu Jing's heart was even more confused, this qiē was simply incredible, they had already reconciled, but he didn't know anything, Liu Jing suddenly remembered that Sun Shangxiang wanted to talk and stopped talking when he was in Jiangdong, did he want to say this to himself?

Liu Jing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "I found that you also like to cry, and I have cried three times when I see me today." ”

"Actually, I don't like to cry, but a lot of things have happened recently, my father died, and I miss you, and people become sentimental."

Da Qiao forced a smile and said: "Her tolerance makes me ashamed, if it weren't for having your child in my womb, I wouldn't see you again." ”

"So you've been avoiding me for the past month, and they've been hiding from me, just like I'm a fool." Liu Jing was really a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said stupidly.

"Don't be angry, don't blame them, this is what I mean, I asked them not to sue you, General, this is not a glorious thing, we all have difficulties, you don't care."

In fact, Liu Jing also understood in her heart that Tao Zhan had to take care of her reputation and bear all kinds of pressure, she concealed the truth about Da Qiao's return to Chang'an from herself, on the one hand, she wanted to take care of Da Qiao, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would mess around and accidentally spread the news, which would affect her reputation.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing had an indescribable helplessness in his heart, and pondered for a while and said, "You better live in the Han Palace!" Don't stay here anymore. ”

"Let's talk about it! Let me think about it again, but now it's getting dark, the general should go back, don't worry about me, there are female guards here to protect me, I'm safe. ”

Liu Jing's heart was very chaotic, so she nodded silently, got up and kissed Da Qiao, and left quickly, Da Qiao looked at his back and walked away, she was also confused, she didn't know what to do, she couldn't help but sigh lowly

Back in the house, Liu Jing hurriedly ate dinner and went to his inner study, only in the study, he could abandon a qiē worry and let himself relax wholeheartedly.

Liu Jing did not have the heart to review the text at this time, but stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, quietly staring at the night sky, in the Battle of Hefei, he did not hesitate to fight the national strength battle with the Cao army at a price, and finally forced the Cao army to admit defeat and retreat, in the battle of attacking Jiangdong, he was even more with a firm will, completely defeated Jiangdong, and destroyed this southeast rival.

But now he is indecisive in a woman, which makes Liu Jing himself feel unhappy, if it weren't for Da Qiao being pregnant with his flesh and blood, how would he choose? But he can't choose now, he has no third way to go except to include her in the mansion, after all, he is the king of Han who is in the limelight, and he can't lose points morally.

At this time, the voice of his wife Tao Zhan came from outside, "Husband, can I come in?" ”

"Please come in!" Liu Jing felt that he was going to talk to his wife about it.

The door opened, Tao Zhan walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea, she put the tea on the table and smiled: "Husband doesn't seem to be happy today?" ”

"I went to Guhuai Mansion today!" Liu Jing looked back at his wife and said.

In fact, Tao Zhan already knew the reason why her husband was not very happy today, she asked the guards just now, knowing that her husband went to Guhuai Mansion in the afternoon, then he must have met Da Qiao, Tao Zhan sighed secretly in his heart, and said softly: "Does my husband think I did something wrong?" ”

Liu Jing sat down, shook his head and said, "I should be grateful to you for taking her back and not letting her stay alone in Bashu, but my heart is very messed up now, and I don't know what to do now?" ”

Tao Zhan sat down opposite her husband, when she just learned about it, she was surprised and angry in her heart, she didn't blame her husband for having anything to do with Da Qiao, but was angry that her husband hid it from her, and even Da Qiao was pregnant.

But Tao Zhan knows better that once this matter spreads, it will have a great impact on her husband's reputation, on the one hand, she concealed everyone, and on the other hand, she personally went to Chengdu to pick up Da Qiao back, after all, Da Qiao is pregnant, even if she doesn't care about Da Qiao, she has to think about the child.

But as time went on, the dissatisfaction and annoyance in her heart gradually disappeared, there is no stunner like Da Qiao Xiao Qiao who is not wanted by a man, and her husband is actually a mortal, although Tao Zhan is no longer annoyed by this matter, but she doesn't know how to tell her husband about it for a while, so she delays it.

Tao Zhan held her husband's hand, and said softly: "The husband is admired by the world, the common people praise you for your kindness, the scholars regard you as the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, the husband has too much halo, at this time, the husband must be more cautious and pay attention to his reputation, Da Qiao is not an ordinary woman, unmarried and pregnant is known, and it is spread out, how strict is the impact on the reputation of the husband, fortunately, Da Qiao is not the wife of the minister, and it is understandable for the husband to marry her, I originally planned to talk to you about this matter in two days, but now that you know, Then the top priority is to marry her as much as possible. ”

Liu Jing nodded, his wife was right, this matter really can't be delayed any longer, at this time Liu Jing was very grateful to his wife in his heart, fortunately, he had a sensible and sensible wife, who twice redeemed his failures in women and kept his reputation.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Jing asked again, "How do you know about this?" ”
