Coming out of Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Guan was a little annoyed. Chanxin followed her to Yuzao Palace and then Jinhua Palace, thinking that she was going to go back, but she didn't think that Mrs. Guan would go in the direction of Zhao Meiren's palace again. Chanxin didn't understand why Mrs. Guan was so eager to find the emperor, but Mrs. Guan was running there with the wind in her footsteps, without the slightest intention of going back.

Chanxin hurriedly followed, the night in late autumn and early winter was the coldest, Chanxin's face was frozen red, and every time she breathed, she would see the white gas drifting back from her mouth, only to feel that the cold wind penetrated her clothes and poured in, and her whole body was cold, and she rubbed her arms to keep warm after walking for a short time. Seeing that Mrs. Guan was walking quickly without saying a word, Chanxin rubbed her hands and asked with a shiver, "Madam, about the prince of Xiuyan, you can also tell the emperor tomorrow, how to find him in the middle of the night against the cold wind?" The palace is so big, won't it be tomorrow morning to look for them one by one? ”

Mrs. Guan said with an iron face, "No, I told the emperor that this matter was already suspected of interfering in politics, presumably the emperor knew that I would talk to him about this, so he would hide from me." He has time to hide, I don't have time to look for him, and when my brother goes to Yanmen, he won't have to hide, and I won't have to look for him. It's just that by then it's too late, so I have to find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will hide until my brother takes office. ”

"Since Madame said so, I think the emperor must have gone to the queen." Chan Xin continued to rub her hands and said.

As soon as Mrs. Guan heard this, the soles of her feet stopped, and she silently thought about Chanxin's words, thinking that there was some truth in it. The Emperor wanted to go to a place where Madame Guan was afraid, and that was the Empress's bedchamber. turned around and glanced at Chanxin, squinted his eyes as if he suddenly realized, and said, "He is hiding from me like this." Immediately, he said in a loud voice, "Go to Changxin Palace." ”

Immediately threw up his wide robe and big sleeves, turned around and walked towards the Changxin Palace where Empress Lu lived. When Chanxin heard that Mrs. Guan was going to the queen's bedroom to find the emperor, she was immediately startled, as if the hairs on her body were about to rise, and her mind was blank and stunned. Chanxin said to Mrs. Guan that the emperor was in Changxin Palace, just telling the truth was just letting her know, implying that she was deliberately hiding from her to go back to the queen, but she didn't think that she would go to the queen's bedroom to find it, and she suddenly panicked. Uneasy, she forgot what the cold was, and the beads of sweat flowed down, and when she was thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Guan had already walked a long way, and the windswept robe was faintly flying.

Hurriedly caught up, ignoring the etiquette of the master and servant, jumped in front of the official wife to stop him, grabbed Mrs. Guan's clothes and said in a panic, "Madame can't go." ”

I hated Chanxin's attitude towards herself just now, she was in such a hurry and a little threatening to ask herself, so she couldn't care about Chanxin's rudeness, and suddenly her face sank, her eyes were sharp, and she was angry and pressed Chanxin.

Chanxin suddenly realized that she was rude first, and hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Mrs. Guan, Mrs. Guan shook her clothes, cleared her throat, and said with a white smile, "Pay attention to proportions in the future!" ”

Chan bowed her head and bent down to apologize to Mrs. Guan apologetically, "Madam, the rudeness just now was not intentional. ”

Mrs. Guan glanced at Chanxin, who was full of guilt, and eagerly glanced in the direction of Changxin Palace, not intending to pursue Chanxin's fault, and said anxiously, "Don't talk about this at the moment, accompany me to Changle Palace quickly." ”

After saying that, she hurriedly walked away, Chanxin swallowed her saliva and grabbed the courage and quickly rushed to Mrs. Guan, holding her with both hands and saying with a panicked and firm face, "Madame think twice, Changxin Palace is the queen's palace, the queen was originally dissatisfied with Mrs. and Mrs. Qi dominating the emperor, and now she is blatantly going to Changxin Palace to find the emperor, the queen will resent you even more, Madame, please think twice." ”

Chanxin's words were not unreasonable, Mrs. Guan's heart suddenly chuckled, and she was a little afraid, her open mouth was white, and her eyes were occupied by fear again. She was indeed afraid of the queen, if it weren't for Chanxin's obstruction, she was afraid that she would make a reckless mistake again.

Mrs. Guan pursed her mouth, all the white air exhaled from her nose, and suddenly her two eyebrows seemed to be squeezed together, blaming herself for being nervous and confused by this incident, and her eyes looked into the distance boredly. At night, under the palace lamps in the distance, only the soldiers on duty stood quietly, and the occasional patrol patrolling the palace walked by, and nothing else, everything was bleak and solemn. Thinking that even if he went to Changxin Palace, the queen and the emperor would sleep, thinking that if he entered Changxin Palace, he might not be able to see the emperor, and the queen's subordinates would not report to the emperor for themselves. On weekdays, the most places that the emperor goes to are Linhua Hall and Yuzao Palace, of course, they also help their master Lu Hou, but the people of Changxin Palace are helping the queen, the emperor finally came once, how can he call an insignificant lady to take advantage of the queen, how can he call a lady to call the emperor away from the queen's bedroom. In any case, if you go to Changxin Palace, you will definitely not see the emperor, and you will touch your nose.

Mrs. Guan touched the cold sweat on her forehead, looked at Chanxin, and said in a soft tone, "It's all my fault for being in a hurry, since it's late at night, let's go back." ”

The lady had to go back to Linhua Hall with Chanxin. Sleeping in clothes, I felt that the quilts were cold, and I couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning about how to talk to the emperor tomorrow. Tossing and turning to Maozheng, the outside still can't see the five fingers, from the inside of the house I heard the outside whirring all night, Mrs. Guan no longer sleepy, jumped off the couch and put on the outer clothes again, combed her hair casually, put on a not very thick robe, took the palace lamp and went out alone.

The sky sent away the last trace of darkness and ushered in the first ray of dawn, and it was still a little hazy shining on Chang'an City, embedded with a cool wind. The sky gradually brightened, and the sun shy hid in the eastern corner and hazy himself. Empress Lu got up early as usual, and Liu Bang continued to lean on the bed and snoring as usual. Carefully crossed Liu Bang from the couch and got off the bed, dressed in simple clothes and combed his hair in a bun first, and looked back at the sleeping emperor on the couch, Empress Lu was stunned. Then he went outside the palace and asked the palace people to tell the cook to make delicious food.

Immediately afterwards, a palace man came in with hot water, put it on the shelf, and went out again. Empress Lu sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the emperor in a daze, motionless. "Ahh Empress Lu smiled, covered him again, and continued to look at him stunned. After a while, Liu Bang stretched his waist and woke up from his dream with a yawn, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Empress Lu sitting on the edge of the bed guarding him.

Liu Bang put one hand on Lu Hou's hand and smiled, "You got up early again." Empress Lu smiled back, "Chen Zheng, Your Majesty wash up." Liu Bang didn't miss the warmth of the bed with a 'hmm', got up with a grunt, put on a single coat and went down to wash his face, and someone brought breakfast in the middle of the face, and the breakfast was still light and simple.

Originally, I came to the queen yesterday unwillingly, because I wanted to avoid the nagging of my wife. It was already dawn, and it was time to go to the court, so Liu Bang wiped his mouth after eating, and told Lu Hou to leave after a few words. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by Empress Lu, turned around and stopped there, Empress Lu came over with his wind robe, gently tied the belt on his body, and said with a warm smile, "It's cold, the emperor should pay attention to his body." ”

Liu Bang's feeling of care and love for her returned to the days of small hours, and she was drunk for a while, but her heart always flashed with regret. After a long time, he smiled, held Empress Lu's hand and said, "You also have to pay attention to your body, I am busy with state affairs, and sometimes I don't take good care of you, don't be angry with me." ”

Empress Lu let out an 'um' and nodded with a smile. In between speaking, an ordinary-looking little palace maid came over with a straight hairy thing in her hand, and bowed down to wait for Empress Lu in a proper manner. Liu Bang glanced at it, he didn't know what it was, and stared at Empress Lu with puzzled eyes.

Empress Lu smiled and withdrew her hand from Liu Bang's hand, picked up the thing in the little palace maid's hand, and unfolded it, which turned out to be a straight double-pass glove for hand warming. If it is cold today, it is winter, this double heating glove Lu Hou has already been knitted, but he has never had a chance to give it to him, and now that he is here, he just has the opportunity to put it on for him personally.

Liu Bang suddenly understood when he saw it, it turned out that the queen had done so much for him behind his back, and he didn't know anything about it. This double warming glove is so finely woven, black and tattooed with a good-looking dragon totem around it, the dragon totem really looks like a living thing, but there is also a significant trace of cuteness in the seriousness. Looking at this glove, Liu Bang smiled at Empress Lu knowingly, stretched out one hand, Empress Lu put it on for him personally, and then put the other hand in, and felt very warm for a while.

said with a smile, "The queen has a heart." Liu Bang looked at the warm gloves on his hands, raised the warm gloves and covered his mouth, to see if the warm was warm, and looked at Lu Hou with a smile.

Seeing that he liked it so much, Empress Lu also felt happy, and straightened out a somewhat oblique robe for him, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "I have already woven it, but I didn't have a chance to give it to Your Majesty, seeing that Your Majesty really likes it, the concubine feels gratified, and I hope it can keep Your Majesty warm in the cold." ”

Liu Bang smiled and nodded, and then took a few eunuchs around him out of Changxin Palace.
