More than half a month has passed, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been summoning the Chu national singer to sing songs for a long time, and he has never been to the palace of other concubines. It is said that the singer's name is Lian'er, and the emperor specially allowed her to wear Chu-style clothes, which is very conspicuous when she walks in the palace of the Great Zhou.

As a result, some concubines were quite dissatisfied with her, and often said some very ugly things behind her back. Of course, the highest ranking of these gossiping concubines is just Zheng Sanpin, and even if the three ladies and Empress Zhao don't like this woman anymore, they will definitely not surrender their identities and gossip behind their backs.

He Xuan returned to the Great Zhou Palace and cherished the precious time he spent with his mother, Mrs. Cai, and his younger brother Ji Tai. In addition, she studied books and mathematics very seriously to make up for the shortcomings of her previous life. Princess Tianwei also came to Mrs. Cai's palace from time to time to visit and Xuan, and Xuan pretended not to know anything, watching her act, and making her happy.

That morning, He Xuan had just had breakfast and stayed in the main hall of his mother's concubine, and saw that Ji Tai had already begun to study the new book "Song of Zhou", which Tai Shi Boya had recently collected and compiled.

"Tai'er, you've already read the new book with relish, tell my sister what you've written?" He Xuan was quite concerned about the eight-year-old brother, so he asked casually.

Ji Tai held the book in his hand, watched his sister come over and ask him, and said excitedly: "Sister, this book records some music of worshipping and praising ancestors in the Great Zhou Temple, but there are some that I have never heard of!" ”

"Oh?" When Hexuan heard this, he was also interested, although Ji Tai was still young, he was a studious and hardworking child. Since Ji Tai went to the league mansion to study for a long time, he stayed for a day, so there were very few books he hadn't read and things he hadn't heard. 【1】

"Sister, look, there are two sentences in this "Harvest Year" that records the Great Zhou a hundred years ago: There are many grains in the harvest year, and there are tall granaries. Hundreds of millions of new rice grains are stored, and the wine is fragrant and sweet, and it is dedicated to the ancestors to taste. [2] Ji Tai gave He Xuan with his finger while reading, and then looked at He Xuan with considerable confusion and said: "Although the Zhou Dynasty is prosperous, the vassal states also supply countless grain and cloth every year, and the amount of grain that my father receives every year is only hundreds of billions, but it has never been as much as a trillion!" Not to mention that the ancients did not have as much population as we have now, and the farming methods were also very backward, sister, is this book written wrong? ”

He Xuan chuckled in her heart, it was the first time she had heard about it. If she hadn't experienced the previous life, she wouldn't have known that the current appearance of the Great Zhou was obviously not as good as before, and the vassal states were respectful on the surface, but in fact, they had already been eyeing each other.

In this way, in the previous life, Empress Zhao's mother family and the Chu State could take advantage of the danger. When she went to Chu with Mi Xian, the extravagance of the nobles of the Chu palace made her staggering, even the luxury of the interior of the Great Zhou Palace was less than one-tenth of that of the Chu Palace, and the Chu State was only one of the vassal states of the Great Zhou. It's no wonder that Tianwei would have such despicable means to deal with her, and she had to be the queen of Chu with all her bets.

In this life, even if he can hide from the open guns and hidden arrows of the harem people, without any entanglement with Mi Xian, the disintegration of the Great Zhou is unstoppable. But if the Great Zhou destroys the country, how will he, Ji Tai, and his mother deal with themselves? And the father, the father will also... Thinking of this, she became more and more uneasy.

However, Hexuan couldn't tell Ji Tai these words, because she couldn't tell him that she actually came back from the dead, and second, she couldn't explain why she knew about the decline of Big Sunday.

Thinking about it, she suppressed the desolation in her heart, squeezed out a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Ji Tai dotingly: "What Tai'er said seems to have some truth, but this also stopped my sister." However, Tai'er reads a wide range of books on weekdays, maybe the person who carves the words is not careful, and he doesn't know if he makes a mistake! ”

When Ji Tai heard her sister say this, she touched the back of her head with her hand, lowered her head and said a little shyly: "Sister, don't make fun of my little brother, I'll ask the teacher another day." ”

"It's a good thing that Tyre is a hard-working child. However, in addition to reading, as a prince, you must also learn from your master for driving and archery! "As an older sister, Hexuan is afraid that Ji Tai only knows how to read like in the previous life, and her body is always sick, so she can't help but nag a few words.

"Got it!" Ji Tai grimaced at He Xuan and ran out with a book in his arms.

He Xuan was amused this time, and said in his heart, it's really a child's heart! So I also returned to my dormitory, still thinking about the question I had just asked. In the last life, Da Zhou was destroyed by the Chu State, on the eve of his twenty-fifth birthday. If she is like her previous life, she is now twelve years old when she is reborn, which means that she still has about thirteen years to remind her father to prepare early.

However, in the previous life, it was Mi Xian who was bent on replacing the Zhou Dynasty, and he would never marry Mi Xian in this life, would that change the direction of the situation? It seems that she also has to think about the possibility of Mi Xian inheriting the king of Chu? Also, even if there is no Mi Xian, there is no guarantee that there will be other people in the vassal states who will do the same thing. Therefore, the Great Zhou must prosper and find ways to strengthen the management of the princes by the emperor, and at the same time weaken the power of the princes.

But how do you do that? He Xuan couldn't help but sigh, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

She secretly made an oath in her heart, in this life, she must not watch the destruction of the Great Zhou, and watch the tragic death of her father, mother, concubine and younger brother, she must not!

Just thinking of this, his thoughts were interrupted by Qing'er, who came in a hurry. "Princess, Princess Tianwei has come to see you."

Before He Xuan could say anything, Tianwei had already paced briskly into the hall. "Second Emperor Sister, it's great that you're here, I have something to tell you."

"Fifth Emperor Sister, is there something wrong with coming here in such a hurry?" He Xuan originally wanted to find an excuse to avoid Tianwei, but people came uninvited, so he had to pretend to be a big sister and ask with concern.

"Second Imperial Sister, I want to talk to you alone." Tianwei looked a little shy, and gestured with her eyes to take Qing'er away.

He Xuan said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, go and make me and the fifth princess a pot of good red robes and bring it over." ”

"No." Qing'er walked out of the dormitory respectfully, leaving only He Xuan and Tianwei.

"Now the Five Emperor Sisters can say it!" He Xuan said strangely, and deliberately half-jokingly rolled Tianwei's eyes.

"Second Emperor Sister, don't be angry, Wei'er is the closest to Second Emperor Sister, so I have to tell Second Emperor Sister about this matter." Tianwei was a little embarrassed, stepped forward, took out a snow-white jade bracelet from her arms, and continued: "This was sent to me by Gongzi Xiantuo, saying that it was carefully polished by the skilled craftsmen of the Chu State for several months, and it is very valuable. ”

"Oh?" He Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the bracelet, and felt a little familiar, as if Mi Xian had given this bracelet to her in the previous life. He Xuan took the bracelet from Tianwei's hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said lightly: "Sure enough, it is a good thing, this Gongzi Xian from the Chu State is really generous." He gave such a valuable gift to the Fifth Emperor Sister for no reason? ”

"Well... Last time at the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace, didn't the second emperor sister make fun of me and Gongzixian? In addition, I often go to see the Six Emperor Sisters, and I often meet Gongzixian. Maybe it's because of what the second emperor sister said last time, so he must give me something? But I didn't expect it to be such a valuable thing, I didn't dare to accept it, and the queen mother knew about it and wanted to punish me. Princess Tianwei said, with a hint of show-off and a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"I see, then according to the meaning of the five emperor sisters, what do you want to do?" He Xuan asked suspiciously, thinking to himself that Tianwei deliberately ran over to show off this to her?

Suddenly, He Xuan found that it was indeed the bracelet given to him by Mi Xian in the previous life, which was crystal clear and natural, but it was a pity that it was given to the palace maid who didn't know the goods when he was in the cold palace. She felt that her heart was pricked by a needle, this jade bracelet was very valuable, she had always regarded the bracelet as a token of love carefully selected by Mi Xian, and she was reluctant to take it off every day when she wore it on her hand. In this life, the same bracelet fell into Tianwei's hands.

"Second Imperial Sister, can you accompany me to Xu Jieyu's palace and help me ask Gongzixian?" Princess Tianwei lowered her head and said softly.

He Xuan's heart didn't want to go, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't find any suitable excuse, and Tianwei was standing in front of him, so it was difficult to refuse. So she wanted to hold the mentality of watching the excitement, wondering if the young Tianwei would be deceived by this generous gift. So she made up her mind and went as soon as she went, was she still afraid that she would not be able to meet Mi Xian. "Okay, but when are we going to meet Gongzixian?"

"If we go now, we will definitely run into Gongzixian. I often went to Xu Jieyu's palace to play with the six emperor sisters in the past few days, and I met Gongzixian to ask Xu Jieyu for peace. Princess Tianwei said happily when she heard that He Xuan agreed.

"This... Okay, let me change and freshen up. He Xuan said slowly, at this time she noticed that Tianwei came to her today, and she was dressed up very brightly and movingly, not only the clothes were gorgeous, her hair was meticulously combed, and the jewelry was also very matching.

Tianwei kept pacing in the hall, impatiently waiting for He Xuan to make up, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to see Mi Xian if she went late.

"Alright, let's go. Look at your anxious look, is it possible to learn from Gaozu's daughter to marry at the age of eight? ”【3】

"Second Emperor Sister don't want to make fun of her sister, Wei'er is still young, she just wants to ask clearly. Let's get over there. Tianwei's white and tender cheeks were flushed, her little hand grabbed Hexuan's sleeve, and hurriedly walked towards the Ningxian Palace where Xu Jieyu lived, and the two little palace maids also followed the two princesses closely.
