Ichthyamo Palace.

Zhen'er and Xiuyue were holding a plate of cake bait in their hands, and Mrs. Qi stood in front of them, Mrs. Qi looked at the cake bait, bent down and sniffed it, and said, "You two gave these cake bait to Zhao Meiren and Shi Meiren, I heard that they both like to eat this kind of cake bait the most." ”

"Whoa." Xiuyue and Zhen'er walked out with the bait, and Mrs. Qi stopped Zhen'er again and said, "Zhen'er, don't forget to ask Shi Meiren for the brocade embroidered with weed, she said it will be completed today." "Mrs. Qi had asked Shi Meiren to embroider a brocade for herself earlier, and she had long heard that Shi Meiren's brocade kung fu ranked first in the harem, and no one was invincible. Zhen'er nodded and Xiuyue turned around and left. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, Liu Bang walked in head-on, his expression was cold and sad, behind his hands, the two of them gave him a simple vegetarian ceremony, Liu Bang saw that it was cake bait, and asked in a dull manner, "Where to get the cake bait?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Mrs. Qi said to send these bait to Zhao Meiren and Shi Meiren, I heard that they like to eat this kind of bait the most." Zhen'er half-squatted back, and Xiuyue also bowed her head.

"You go first, you come and pour me a cup of tea." Liu Bang pointed at Xiuyue and asked her to deliver cake bait, leaving Zhen'er to tell her to pour tea for herself.

"Whoa." Zhen'er came back again, put the bait aside, and went inside to pour tea for Liu Bang.

After Liu Bang came in, his body was slumped on the mat softly, his expression was like cold iron, his eyes stared at one place without saying a word, he exhaled a heavy breath, and the beautiful beard at the corner of his mouth was blown up and down by the breath he exhaled, and the whole person had no vitality at all, but a little sluggish. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mrs. Qi walked to his side lightly, put her hand on his shoulder, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty unhappy?" ”

Liu Bang turned his head to the side, looked back at Mrs. Qi gloomily, gave a wry smile, and then tilted his head on Mrs. Qi's hand on his shoulder, and sighed, "Annoying, annoying." ”

Mrs. Qi's hand could feel the warmth of Liu Bang's face, and when she saw him like this, she didn't withdraw her hand back, she simply gave Liu Bang a pillow, and she leaned towards Liu Bang's side, holding Liu Bang's arm with the other hand. Hearing Liu Bang say annoying, she was stunned, because she had never seen Liu Bang say a word of annoyance to her, and she had never heard him say the word annoyance in the face of so many wars before, and today he looked so sad, and he said annoyance without any subtlety in front of him. Mrs. Qi patted Liu Bang's shoulder and felt pity for him, "Can you talk to the concubine and listen." ”

Zhen'er behind the screen was about to take out the tea and pour it for Liu Bang, but she heard it......

Liu Bang sighed, straightened his head, got up and walked to the carved window, looked at the faintly undulating mountains in the north outside, frowned for a long time before saying, "The Huns' welcoming procession has arrived at Yanchi, but I don't know that they actually gave me such a surprise attack, so that I was completely unprepared, only three days, how should I decide this matter." Liu Jing insisted that I send Ah Yuan to the Xiongnu, and I also promised the queen that I would never marry Ah Yuan to the Xiongnu, alas, I don't know what to do. Queen Chongyang Ye said that the Xiongnu would send people to Chang'an in two months, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that there were officials at the border, if the Xiongnu entered the border, they would come to report, how did I know that the arrogant and unreasonable Beidi dared to hijack the delayed officials, despise the Han, and say that when the time comes, I will surprise me, I think this surprise is big enough. Liu Bang said and became excited, his mind suddenly appeared two years ago by the humiliation of the Xiongnu besieged Bai Shan for seven days and seven nights, in order to escape had to resort to bribery of the Xiongnu clan, and promised the two countries to make peace, coupled with the Hun welcome team today insulted the face of the Han Dynasty, suddenly a wave of anger went straight to the brain, gritted his teeth and punched the wall by the carved window, standing in front of the window majestic falcon looking in the direction of the Xiongnu in the north.

Mrs. Qi was surprised when she heard it, it turned out that the Xiongnu had come to Chang'an to greet her relatives, which had been agreed upon two years ago, but she didn't expect the time to be so fast. The Xiongnu have sent people to Chang'an, Chang'an is also thousands of miles away from the Xiongnu, I can't imagine that they only have three days after they arrive to prepare, in addition to making the Han feel hasty, more is that the Xiongnu did not care about the dignity of the Han Dynasty to hijack the officials of the Han Dynasty at will, and also arrogantly sent people to Chang'an to report, saying that they arrived in Chang'an to surprise the emperor, and the surprise has made the emperor and his ministers very uncomfortable, so this had to make Liu Bang Longyan angry, and refused to drive the princess of the clan to the Xiongnu.

Mrs. Qi and Empress Lu are mortal enemies, and at this juncture, Liu Bang should be persuaded to marry Lu Yuan to the Xiongnu, which can disintegrate a lot of Empress Lu's mind. But this time she didn't do it, she thought that if she did this, Empress Lu would definitely point the finger at her, and the fighting method would be dayless, and she might not be able to win at that time, there is no doubt that who didn't know that Mrs. Qi wanted Empress Lu to be unlucky the most, she couldn't do anything to stand out from the crowd at this time, and she couldn't ask Empress Lu to grab the handle, so she just sighed after hearing it, but didn't say a word.

Liu Bang thought that she would persuade her to do what Liu Jing wanted, but Mrs. Qi didn't move, but she felt a little confused, and turned around with a disbelieving and slightly questioning question, "You, you have nothing to say?" Liu Bang obviously didn't believe Mrs. Qi's attitude at this time.

Mrs. Qi smiled and said lightly, "It's not easy for the concubines to say anything about this matter, the emperor should discuss it with the queen." ”

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction, he knew that his Qi Ji just wanted his son to ascend the throne, and he could ignore everything else.

Zhen'er came out with the tea, poured the tea and put it on several cases, and said to Liu Bang, "Your Majesty, you can drink tea." ”

Liu Bang 'um' for a moment, walked over and sat down, picked up the tea and drank it, and said, "I will go to the queen in the evening, it will be very late tonight, so don't wait for me, go to bed early." ”

Mrs. Qi nodded 'um'. Zhen'er, who was standing on the side, rolled her eyes, was silent for a while, and said to Mrs. Qi, "Madam, can the slave and maid go and deliver the bait now?" ”

Mrs. Qi waved her hand, "Go ahead, don't forget to take back the silk brocade." Zhen'er just picked up the cake bait plate, and a little maid came in outside the door, but when she saw that it was Mrs. Guan's heart in Linhua Palace, she panicked, and went straight to Liu Bang when she came in, and she forgot to salute Mrs. Qi, and she came to Liu Bang with a frightened face, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Guan is sick and vomiting badly, saying that she wants to see the emperor." ”

After hearing this, Liu Bang straightened up and glanced at Mrs. Qi beside him, then smiled disapprovingly, looked at Mrs. Qi and said, "Look, since I went to her, she has been pestering me every day, and she is annoyed to death." ”

Mrs. Qi smiled perfunctorily, and the word 'vomiting' immediately aroused her high attention, and she thought about it carefully: Isn't she pregnant?

Liu Bang shook his hand at Chanxin and said perfunctorily, "I'm sick, then hurry up and Xuan Taiyi, come and tell me what to do, I am gone, can I cure her?" Don't tell me to see what flowers and grass she raises, last time she said she was sick, I went, but she told me what to eat twisted fish, and I had nothing to do all day long. Then he urged, "Go quickly, go quickly, go to the Imperial Doctor, don't bother me." ”

Chanxin said, "The imperial doctor is already in the Linhua Palace, and the lady said that if she can't see the emperor, she won't let the imperial doctor see the disease." ”

Liu Bangfang was feeling melancholy about the Xiongnu, and now Mrs. Guan has come to add to the chaos, after all, Mrs. Guan has caused more trouble to herself than the insult given to her by the Huns. Liu Bang can only love and resent her, after all, he is his own concubine, and it is impossible to hate her more than the Huns, but he is also a little tired of Mrs. Guan's stubborn beating, and he only felt a headache and pinched his forehead helplessly, and muttered in his mouth, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, this mother-in-law." Then, baring his teeth and complaining, he pulled his face long, and deliberately shouted to Mrs. Qi with his head held high in disgust, "Madam, look, she will come to this set." Mrs. Qi listened to Mrs. Guan's stalking kung fu, and looked at Liu Bang complaining like a child at this time, so she covered her mouth and smiled. Liu Bang took a few leftover bait and sent it to his mouth, and told Chanxin with a vague mouth, "Okay, I'll go with a cup of tea, this mother-in-law won't let me get better." ”

"Whoa." After Chanxin got that Liu Bang would go to Linhua Palace, her face became happy, so she bowed and retreated, and returned to Linhua Palace.

As soon as Chanxin left, Liu Bang swallowed the bait in his mouth and said whining, "What an annoying spirit, I will fill my ears with her nonsense every day, and the cocoons will come out." "Liu Bang complained about this 'annoying spirit', blaming her for not knowing how to be considerate of herself, busy with state affairs every day, and being nagged by her when she came back, clearly saying that she disliked Mrs. Guan, but secretly revealed Liu Bang's liking for Mrs. Guan. That night, after being fortunate to Mrs. Guan again, Liu Bang put Mrs. Guan in his heart, Liu Bang liked Mrs. Guan's kind of 'domineering' simplicity that was grinning and babbling, and sometimes he felt very cute, but he just said about the Huns today, how could he obediently listen to Mrs. Guan and go to her, the Huns can't conquer it, he was conquered by a woman, wouldn't he make Mrs. Qi next to him laugh at herself. So he complained brightly, and secretly liked and tolerated in his heart. Mrs. Qi knew Liu Bang well, of course, she could hear that the bright words were for herself, if the emperor was really tired of a woman, he would not go to the women's palace again. Hearing Liu Bang playing this trick with herself, Mrs. Qi covered her mouth and smiled again, the emperor's 'superb' mediation ability is full of cold humor, Mrs. Qi did not take the emperor's words to heart, but paid close attention to the word 'vomiting', and pinching the time was also the time for Mrs. Guan to be pregnant.
