At night, Ichmoe Palace.

The night is like water, the bright moon is in the sky, the sky is boundless, the sky is black and cool, only the eternal bright moon hangs silently, and the coolness of the bright moon seems to penetrate people's hearts and spleens.

The palace was silent, only a few corners were faintly or suddenly flashing lights, only some young palace maids shuttled back and forth in the palace courtyard to hand over the duty, busy non-stop, as if the moon was a companion, people danced, and the figure elongated by the moonlight was like a willow and a flower.

The shadows of the trees in the palace courtyard are swaying, and the moonlight penetrates the gaps in the leaves, casting on the cobblestone path, like naughty children, adding some fun to this dark and silent night.

In the distance in the southwest corner of the Yuzao Palace, a team of people and horses carrying palace lanterns were coming this way, but the rows of lights were like a jade belt moving slowly in this night.

When they approached, it was two eunuchs who took the lead, all in dark palace clothes, wearing eunuch hats, and their faces were respectful and cautious. Behind is Liu Bang's Luan, six horses side by side, Qingluo umbrella cover, the bell under the umbrella jingles with the movement of the carriage and horses, playing a joyful song for the night.

Liu Bang felt a little tired from dealing with Weishui during the day, and after discussing countermeasures with the ministers in a hurry, he rested in the inner hall for a while, and then called several ministers to go to the place where the Weishui embankment broke to check the situation. There are already a lot of people there with trouser legs, sweat towels on their heads, and they are dirty and hardworking, that is when Xiao He has not issued his holy decree, but the people are like this to help the people in the Weishui area. At that moment, the unity of the people made Liu Bang a little moved, Chen Ping was right, his body is upright, he doesn't give orders, his body is not right, although he doesn't obey the order, Zishuai is right, who dares to be wrong? Lu Hou is right, governing the world should show great goodness, and in the past few years, it has been doing nothing to recuperate, and it has indeed created time for the people to recover their production and life, and the country is suddenly in this trap, and the people will of course spontaneously help the country tide over the difficulties without asking for anything in return.

Seeing the people working tirelessly to block the mouth of the embankment, Liu Bang felt a sense of awe in his heart rushed to his head, and simply took off the robe outside and handed it to the eunuch to hold, and he also joined the people who blocked the breach, and the people did it even more powerfully, "Yo hey, it's up; Yo hey, it's blocked. A low, powerful shout hovered over the Wei embankment.

Zhou Bo and Guan Ying, who were patrolling in the upper reaches, saw the personal eunuch next to the emperor standing on a convex ground, and immediately trotted over and asked where the emperor was, the eunuch pointed to the middle of the crowd and was tired and sweaty, but it was the emperor Liu Bang who was sincerely happy, and the two of them were surprised to stop Liu Bang, but Liu Bang got rid of their hands with a smile, telling them that only by integrating with the people can they create endless wealth and additional things, and the people are the basis of everything he does. The two of them also took off their heavy armor and joined the team blocking the Wei embankment, and remembered the shouts again.

worked with the people until it was dark, and Liu Bang dragged his tired body back.

In the hall, Mrs. Qi was pacing anxiously, because Liu Ruyi had not come back yet. Mrs. Qi's Ruyu face appeared anxious, Jing Tian had already ordered a few palace people to look for it again, and he continued to comfort Madame, although it was night, but in the main hall, it was like day, the candles were bright, and the flames and demons were dancing.

"No, I'll have to look for it, he never doesn't come back for so long." Mrs. Qi stopped and said abruptly, she couldn't wait any longer, Ruyi didn't come back so late, Mrs. Qi was nervous in her heart, afraid that her son would cause trouble again, Jing Tian accompanied Mrs. Qi out of the main hall, just opened the palace door, and saw two rows of palace lights shining in the southwest from a distance.

Mrs. Qi raised her neck and looked at the southwest, a slight flush and joy appeared on her pale and faint cheeks, and her spirit seemed to be better, and she turned around and instructed Jing Tian, "Your Majesty is here, I can't go to Ruyi, Jing Tian, you go to Feiyu Pavilion and call him back for me, this kid is not home so late, what are you playing." Mrs. Qi is sure that it is Liu Bang's Luan, she is used to looking outside the palace, every time Liu Bang comes, she is very happy, the familiar car, the familiar palace lights, the familiar ringtones, the familiar people, everything is so familiar.

Luan drove closer and closer, only ten meters away, the big team stopped, six horses stand, and the eunuchs stood on both sides to welcome Liu Bang. Mrs. Qi was overjoyed, and hurriedly went down the steps to meet Liu Bang, and the eunuch was about to move the stone bench to Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi made a gesture, and the eunuch respectfully retreated, and Mrs. Qi stood next to the horse and waited for Liu Bang's hand to put on her hand.

Liu Bang coughed slightly, followed by heavy and tuk-tuk footsteps. 'Huh' opened the curtain, Liu Bang's face was a little haggard and tired, there was sleepiness in his eyes, and he inadvertently looked at his beloved concubine, so he smiled indifferently, the two laughed so tacitly, so inconsistently, Liu Bang put his hand on Mrs. Qi's hand and got off the car, and Mrs. Qi carried Liu Bang into the hall.

Liu Bang saw that the candles in the hall were bright, and turned his head to ask his wife: "Lighting the candles, are you waiting for me?" ”

Mrs. Qi raised her head and smiled, her eyes full of tenderness, "Yes and no." Ruyi hadn't come back yet, and the concubine didn't dare to go to bed, thinking that the emperor would come today, so she waited with her clothes. ”

Liu Bang let go of Mrs. Qi's hand, walked to a few cases, grabbed a handful of dried fruits and crunched them, looked left and right, and really didn't see Ruyi, "Where did he go?" ”

"Rainfall Pavilion." Mrs. Qi saw that Liu Bang cared about Ruyi, but she didn't dare to be arrogant, "Ruyi is so naughty, it's all concubines who can't discipline her." ”

Liu Bang stroked his hair and laughed, almost squirting out what he was chewing in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "This is my son." ”

Liu Bang smiled and poured a few cases of slightly hot tea to drink, and Mrs. Qi immediately asked someone to replace the slightly hot tea, and hurriedly went to make some hot and hot ones. Putting down the teacup and coming to the candle stand, he picked up a stick and picked the wick of the candle, and suddenly the hall was much brighter than just now, and then asked, "I have something to delay today, I didn't come to see you, are you better?" ”

"Jing Tian went to the Tai Hospital to get some medicine, and he is already much better."

While speaking, a burst of cheerful laughter was remembered outside, and Jing Tian came back with Ruyi, who smiled immaturely. Ruyi was eight years old, the beloved son of Liu Bang and Mrs. Qi, and was named the acting king for less than a year.

"Father." Ruyi coquettishly drilled into Liu Bang's arms, his little face was full of sweat and mud, rubbing his face on Liu Bang's clothes, and the dirty things were stuck to Liu Bang's clothes.

Liu Bang didn't care about Ruyi's dirty things pasted on his clothes, picked up his beloved son and kissed him, Ruyi also pulled his beard and laughed and played with him affectionately, as soon as he saw Ruyi, Liu Bang seemed to put all the hardships and hardships in the back of his mind, Liu Bang asked: "Ruyi, where have you been, look at you sweating profusely." Liu Bang had a happy smile on his face, wiping away the sweat and mud for Ruyi. At this moment, they seem to be a happy family of three, maybe Liu Bang himself is also emotional, Mrs. Qi likes singing and dancing, Liu Bang also likes it, Mrs. Qi is good at drumming, Liu Bang also likes it, the two of them are bosom friends, and they really get along in temperament.

Ruyi pursed his lips and said, "Erchen went to Feiyu Pavilion to play." Then he narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously.

Liu Bang and Mrs. Qi looked at each other, not knowing why Ruyi had such an expression. Ruyi clapped his hands, and several palace maids and eunuchs came in crookedly from outside the door, some of them had turtles painted on their faces, some of their clothes were cut, and the left leg of another palace person was tied together with the right leg of another palace person, and what was even more ridiculous was that a patient was naked on his upper body, and only underwear was left on his lower body, and those palace maids and eunuchs were very reluctant to huddle together and bow their heads in shame, and they did not dare to accuse Ruyi of rudeness, but Ruyi was happier when he saw their embarrassment.

Liu Bang looked at this scene, he had never done such a thing since he was a child, Ruyi actually did it, Liu Bang swallowed saliva in admiration, pinched Ruyi's little face, and laughed, "You, little overlord, you can think of this." As he spoke, he touched his head to Ruyi's head.

Mrs. Qi looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who had been rectified by Ruyi, and felt that Ruyi was too naughty, "This ...... Ruyi ...... "She doesn't know what to say."

Liu Bang still smiled at the embarrassment of those palace maids and eunuchs, as if he thought that his father favored him, and pointed at them and said: "You are not allowed to wash your face, you are not allowed to mend your clothes, and you are not allowed to untie the rope on your legs, do you hear?" After speaking, he smiled at his father, and Liu Bang smiled and agreed to the act of wishful thinking.

Those people had to say "yes" very reluctantly.

I was too tired today, and not long after playing with Ruyi, Liu Bang yawned and became sleepy. Mrs. Qi hurriedly asked Jing to take Ruyi back to sleep, and brought hot water to help Liu Bang burn his feet, Liu Bang sat on the couch and almost fell asleep with his head drooping, Mrs. Qi asked him to go to sleep on the couch, he fell asleep on the couch and fell motionless in response to the sound, Mrs. Qi looked at him really tired, and felt that he was very tired and needed to rest, so she took off his boots and covered him with a quilt, and went to Ruyi's inner hall to appease Ruyi to sleep.

The next day, there was nothing to do in the Yuzao Palace, and after Liu Bang and Mrs. Qi's wife Liu Ruyi had breakfast, they also went to the court early to inquire about Weishui.

Jing Tilt took a leave of absence from Mrs. Qi after handling all the affairs of the Yuzao Palace, she was going to the queen to get the "Three Deer Crossing the River", she was also worried about Yun He Xiuyue, after a day, I don't know how they were doing in Yongxiang, whether those hideous Yongxiang orders bullied them, whether they ate well or not, whether they lived warmly, what was their physical condition, Jing Tilt didn't know all this, she just guessed randomly, hoping that they would hold on for a while, and she would definitely beg the queen to take back their orders and let them go back to Changle Palace to do things.

Jing Tian wandered alone in the Changle Palace, full of uneasiness between his steps, unintentionally looking at how majestic the buildings of the Changle Palace were, unintentionally looking at how many beautiful and solemn palaces there were on the territory of this heroine, unintentionally looking at whether the pond in the pond in the Changle Palace was still murmuring, whether there were still smart fish swimming, unintentionally looking at how the corridor of the Jiuqu Ileum was walking, and unintentionally looking at whether every Changle Palace person she met had given her a good face, just because she was a person next to Mrs. Qi.

Jing Tian didn't care about this, thinking about how to plead with the queen, she didn't want to see the queen but had to. Finally walked to the Changxin Palace where the queen lived, stood in front of the door and looked up at the three big seal script fonts in front of the palace gate 'Changxin Palace', these three words alone are enough to make people so nervous, it is majestic, because this is the bedroom of the queen of the Han Dynasty, the queen said one or the other, just straight and straightforward. Jing tilted his head and looked up, but he was not intimidated, and entered with peace of mind and the best state.

There is no one else in the bright and spacious hall except for a few palace maids who serve, the smooth floor can almost illuminate the figure, and the palace lamp is lit on the lampstand next to it, although the palace is large, it is cold and quiet, without any life, it is far from the Yuzao Palace, and it is the place where the queen rests after turning a few pavilions.

Xu is Empress Lu had already instructed that if she saw Jing Tian, don't stop it, so as soon as she entered the hall, the palace people and eunuchs in the palace were still standing in place. Jing looked at these palace people in surprise, thought about it and went inside, the twelve palace people inside stood quietly on both sides to serve, and Lu Hou on the couch was concentrating on knitting a warm glove, which seemed to be the size of a man, I am afraid that it was made for Liu Bang, she poured all her attention and careful stitches and threads, picking and wearing, with a slight smile between the corners of her mouth, her eyes were full of a woman's tenderness and waiting and prayer for her husband, and it was a kind of no regrets.

Jing Tian saw that the queen was weaving so seriously, without interrupting, and felt that it was very inappropriate to disturb the queen at this moment, so he turned around and walked out lightly.

Seeing what the queen did to the emperor, Jing was touched by some feelings. In his heart, he silently compared the emperor's attitude towards Mrs. Qi and the empress. For Mrs. Qi, Liu Bang regards her as a confidant who can talk and have fun with her, and the two of them are just like a pair of sweet first love men and women, and because Mrs. Qi and Liu Bang have the same interests, they both like Chu Song and Chu Dance, and the two can play together. For the queen, Liu Bang has long lost the original tenderness and passion, some are just guilt and compensation for the queen, and some are respectful to each other and polite with eyebrows, and there is rarely pure love between men and women.
