Despite being away for a few months, there is still little change in Chengdu. Zhao Shu returned to the court, and the emperor Liu Chan personally took the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, and set up a banquet in the palace that night to celebrate his achievements. During the banquet, Liu Chan personally toasted three glasses to Zhao Shu, and he was extremely favored. Hundreds of officials in the court, Wenchen from Jiang Wan below, and military generals from Li Yan below, all opened their mouths to congratulate until the third watch was dispersed.

Zhao Shu turned back to the general's mansion, and saw Rong'er waiting in front of the door from a distance, and kept looking. In the military, although the two are often together, but after all, there are many people and miscellaneous, and they can't act excessively, and when they return to their mansion today, they don't care about it, thinking of the next show, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile, dismounted and stepped forward, and asked in a low voice: "Are you in a hurry?" Rong'er replied: "It's not me waiting for you, it's Mrs. Zhuge who asked to see you, and I've been waiting for a long time." Zhao Shu was stunned in his heart, Kong Ming's coffin returned to Chengdu with the army, Huang Yueying must have known about his death, and did not set up a memorial service at home, but what did he do in his own house? Rong'er also saw Zhao Shu's doubts, and whispered: "I'm afraid that his intentions are not good, it's better for you not to see him." ”

The news of Kong Ming's presence in Nanzhong was indeed told by Huang Yueying to Zhao Shu, but it is difficult to say whether it was good intentions or bad intentions. It can be said that it can be said that Zhao Shu is on guard, or it can be said that it can be said to lure Zhao Shu to go south in person. After all, if it weren't for Bao Sanniang's "Yellow Sparrow Behind", Zhao Shu would have been buried in another country. Now that Kong Ming's coffin has just returned to Chengdu, Huang Yueying has come to ask to see her, and it is difficult to guarantee that she is not to avenge her husband. But Zhao Shu disappeared, and he couldn't help but look timid, but said with a smile: "You go with me, why are you afraid of her?" So he came to the living room with Rong'er to meet Huang Yueying.

Although she has only been seen for a few months, Huang Yueying looks much older, wearing a white filial piety suit, and her body looks even thinner. Looking at the undried tears on the other party's face, Zhao Shu also felt a little apologetic in his heart, in this era of "husband for wife", killing a woman's husband is undoubtedly taking away all of her, although Kong Ming was not killed by himself, but there is always some responsibility. When Huang Yueying saw Zhao Shu coming, she got up and bowed slightly, which was considered a salute. Zhao Shu also returned the favor and asked, "Madame came to see me, but there are difficulties in the house?" ”

Huang Yueying still had a sad look, but when Zhao Shu asked at this moment, he suppressed his grief and replied indifferently: "If you are tired of the general, everything in the house is fine." The concubine came here to pay a visit, but there were some words to say to the general. After speaking, he looked at Rong'er and the generals behind him. Zhao Shu heard the meaning of her words, she wanted to talk to herself alone, and she was slightly reluctant in her heart, so she said: "Madame has some advice, Shu will listen to you." "How smart is Huang Yueying? also guessed that Zhao Shu was worried, and sat down and said: "The general doesn't have to be suspicious, the concubine has no malice." Moreover, the general has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he is still afraid of a woman? ”

Zhao Shu is not an irritable person, but since the other party has said so, she has to let the general behind her retreat, but Rong'er does not leave, with her martial arts, even if there is a change, she can resist for a while. There were only three people left in the hall, Huang Yueying couldn't help but look at Rong'er a few more times, and suddenly said: "Madame is good-looking, and the general is so blessed." ”

Huang Yueying can't be said to be ugly, she can only be said to be mediocre, compared with Rong'er, naturally there is no need to compare. When these words came out of her mouth, she felt a little self-pity, Zhao Shu didn't know how to speak, but she heard her say: "The general is happy today? "Today's Shu Han Empire is in Zhao Shu's hands, and today's banquet is indeed hesitant, but Huang Yueying has a new widow, how can Zhao Shu admit it? I had to murmur: "Your Majesty and all the lords celebrate the victory of the Southern Expedition, so they set up a banquet." Huang Yueying shook her head slightly and said, "Everyone in the court is happy, but I don't know why the general is happy." Zhao Shu was even more surprised, raised his eyes to look at Huang Yueying, but saw that the other party's eyes were also looking at him, looking so clear and clear, as if he could really see through his mind, he couldn't help asking, "Madame, try to speak." ”

Huang Yueying paused for a moment before continuing: "If Kong Ming returns victoriously today, he will not be as happy as the general. Kong Ming is aiming at Xinghan, but the general is aiming at ease. If Kong Ming gains power, he will inevitably work hard and be more conscientious, hoping to compete for the Central Plains and restore the Han dynasty in the future. However, the general only regarded Kong Ming as the biggest enemy, and he was in power, and he just wanted to be in a corner of peace for the rest of his life. Therefore, today's banquet, the general's wish has come true, and he is the happiest. ”

After Huang Yueying finished speaking, Zhao Shu couldn't help clapping his hands lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Madam knows me even more, I am not as good as the prime minister." Huang Yueying smiled miserably, shook her head and said: "As a woman, of course, I also hope that my husband is ambitious, but I hope to get a perfect and warm home." The general is too humble, you are many times stronger than Kong Ming. It's just that although the general intends not to be enemies of Wei and Wu, how can the two countries be willing to stand on three legs? Not everyone is like a general. ”

Zhao Shu naturally knows this truth, but Shu Han has the danger of mountains and rivers, as long as the political situation is not chaotic, the government is not corrupt, he is not afraid of Wei Wu coming, and he does not have the ambition to swallow Wei and destroy Wu, he just smiled lightly: "People don't offend me, I don't offend people." Huang Yueying looked at Zhao Shu again, such a man should be regarded as an outlier, he has no ambition but is in a high position, I am afraid that there will not be any good end. Huang Yueying slowly took a few rolls of brocade silk from her arms and said, "These volumes are either useless or useless, and leave them as a souvenir." Without waiting for Zhao Shu to pick it up, he casually put it on the table next to him, then stood up and said, "It's not too early, the concubine won't bother the general and leave." ”

Zhao Shu really didn't want to have a long talk with her, and he didn't open his mouth to keep her, and personally sent her out of the house. Outside the door, Huang Yueying suddenly asked, "When Kong Ming is leaving, do you have words to explain?" Zhao Shu was about to say "no", but seeing the expectant look in Huang Yueying's eyes, he couldn't help but lie: "The prime minister is also very concerned about his wife, and he has repeatedly begged Shu to take more care. Huang Yueying chuckled again and said, "How can Kong Ming be such a child-like person? Then he said: "On that day, the concubine informed the general that Kong Ming was in Nanzhong, and he led the general to go to the expedition in person, and there was no malice. Zhao Shu shouldn't have believed her words easily, but for some reason, he was willing to believe it in his heart, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, madam." ”

Huang Yueying shook her head lightly and said, "The general doesn't need to say thank you, it's just a little selfishness on my part." If Kong Ming can gain power again, how can he have a happy time with me again? Now he can't go there, but can only be with me. Hearing the last sentence, Zhao Shu's heart was suddenly shocked, and he said, "Madam......" Huang Yueying didn't wait for him to say more, and quickly boarded the car.
