Tu Yu put on the white single clothes that had been baked in the stove, put them on for Zhang Yan, and took out a second set of silk shirts, and finally waited for Zhang Yan to change into a light yellow dogwood pattern and a deep coat with a flower Luo Shen, lined with a yellow silk bottom, in the middle of the silk cotton, and the edge of the sleeve placket were edged with an inch wide red brocade edge, pulled up the placket, covered it behind him and went around again, tied the belt, showing Zhang Yan holding her waist slightly.

"It's already time," said Tu Yu, "it's time for Lord Weng to go to the main hall to greet Her Royal Highness the Queen!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, "Well, let's go!" ”

She walked out of the East Pavilion where she lived with Tu Yu and walked along the long corridor of the Jiaofang Palace.

Jiaofang hall is the middle palace where the queen lives, the main hall is nine open rooms according to the system, there are two halls of east and west, eight rooms with halls, more than ten pavilions, another palace people sleep, a total of 58 palace rooms in the utility room. The main hall is not open on weekdays, only used for the queen to meet the ** concubines, Lu Hou lives in the west hall on weekdays, Princess Lu Yuan entered the palace this time, was placed in the east side hall, Zhang Yan also followed her mother, lived in a small pavilion in the side hall. She followed the palace people who led the way out of the pavilion gate, passed through two courtyards, entered a courtyard that covered a wide area, the corridor in front of her suddenly opened up, a palace pavilion stood in front of her, the eaves were flying, beautiful and heavy, but it was the west hall where Empress Lu lived arrived.

Zhang Yan's right hand pressed her left hand, her hands were hidden in her sleeves, she raised her hand to increase her forehead, respectfully bowed to Empress Lu, who was sitting at the top, paused, and then straightened up, and at the same time increased her forehead with both hands, and bowed, "Ah Yan has seen Grandma." ”

Empress Lu looked up and saw Zhang Yan, her eyes showed a hint of affection, and beckoned, "Ah Yan, come here." ”

She took Ah Yan's hand and asked her to sit down next to her, "When you scolded your emperor Ah Weng yesterday, were you afraid in your heart?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, "I'm afraid." ”

She wasn't lying.

She thought that this was just another dream of hers, and she dared to rush out at that time, if she had known that the dream had become an irreversible reality, she would not dare to be presumptuous no matter what. After all, the Western Han Dynasty is not the era of modern democracy and freedom, and Liu Bang is not a soft-hearted master, if he is annoyed and drags himself out and cuts him, he has nowhere to find his life.

But since he has paid such a big price, he inevitably wants to get a little benefit.

Empress Lu is her maternal grandmother, and she is also the most famous queen in history, the heroine is the system, and she has ruled China for more than ten years as the queen mother.

Empress Lu's eyes flashed, and she was really moved in her heart.

Although she liked Zhang Yan before, but because of her daughter Lu Yuan, she loved the house and Wu, she was let down by Liu Bang all her life, and no one dared to say a word of justice for herself in public for many years, only this little Ah Yan stepped forward in the Great Xia Palace and reprimanded Liu Bang. She was shocked in her heart, and she couldn't help but start liking the little girl from the bottom of her heart, stretched out her hand and scratched her white nose, and said with a smile, "Then you still rushed out to scold him, I can't pull it?" ”

Zhang Yan said embarrassedly, "I didn't think about it so much at that time!" ”

Lu Pheasant's eyes were warm, patted the back of her hand, and praised, "Good boy." ”

"Of course Ah Yan is a good boy." A gentle laugh came from outside the hall. The palace maid outside the palace gate bowed his knees, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Liu Ying entered the hall and bowed, "The son has seen the queen mother. ”

Empress Lu looked at her son and was in a good mood, "Get up." ”

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old purple-clothed young man came up from Liu Yinghou's head and said to Empress Lu, "Liulang wishes my aunt a long and happy future!" I haven't seen my aunt for half a month, my aunt is still big, right? ”

Empress Lu smiled, "Okay." ”

"Ah Yan," she called, "this is your sixth cousin of the Lu family, and you should also call your cousin." ”

Zhang Yan observed the words, got up hurriedly, and bowed to Liu Ying and the purple-clothed young man, "Ah Yan has seen the prince's uncle. I have seen the cousin of the Lu family. ”

Lu Lu looked at Zhang Yan and praised, "Ah Yan is worthy of being the granddaughter of the queen's aunt, this appearance is really pretty, and she will definitely be a beauty in the future!" ”

Empress Lu asked Liu Yingdao, "What did Uncle Sun Taifu teach today?" ”

Liu Ying replied respectfully, "Today's Taifu teaches "Zhou Li". ”

Empress Lu smiled, "This is the business of Uncle Sun Taifu." ”

"You and Liulang came back from the Tingwei Mansion, what did Tingwei Wang Tian say about King Zhao's case?"

Liu Ying sighed and arched her hand, "Brother-in-law naturally refuses to admit it, and Wang Tingwei can't find any evidence." However, although they treated them respectfully, they did not say anything about the final verdict. ”

The three of them all looked very heavy, and they understood in their hearts that the final ending of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was just a turning point in the minds of the top people in Changle Palace. Lu Lu said angrily, "Your Majesty is here to target the crown prince at all, and the deposition of King Zhao is just to cut off the wings of His Royal Highness the Prince, does it really mean to use the ignorant child of the Immortal Hall to replace his cousin as the crown prince?" ”

"The shaft is silent," Empress Lu frowned angrily, "Can this kind of thing be said nonsense?" If someone reaches His Majesty's ears, what do you want Your Majesty to think? ”

She glanced around and smiled slightly, "If any of the people in my Jiaofang Palace don't say a word more, the palace will naturally dispose of him." ”

The people in the palace were silent, and they bent their knees and responded, "Yes." ”

Lu Hou said lightly, "Let's all go down." ”

Zhang Yan looked at Empress Lu's expression, got up and said with a smile, "Grandma, Ah Yan wants to go to the East Side Hall to see Ah Niang." ”

Empress Lu secretly praised in her heart, and said softly, "You go." ”

Zhang Yan saluted Empress Lu and Liu Ying and exited the Jiaofang Palace.

Empress Lu watched Zhang Yan's curling figure disappear at the gate of the palace, Fang retracted his gaze, his face calm, "Your Majesty has no intention of easy storage, but Qi Ji's slut has been instigating, and we can't help but make preparations early." ”

Her gaze glanced at her quiet son, and asked, "Ying'er, you are the prince of the Han Dynasty, what do you think we should do at this time?" ”

Liu Ying turned her head and said respectfully, "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters think that we can't do anything in the **, but the ministers of the court mostly support us, and this matter still has to fall on the courtiers." ”

"Ying'er is right," Empress Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, raised her chin, and her eyes were sharp, "Among the court, the one with the highest meritorious service, the earliest to retreat, the highest talent, and the most respected by His Majesty, will be the number of Liuhou." If you can get his support and advice, even Your Majesty will not dare to mention the idea of Yi Chu easily! ”

Lu Lu looked left and right for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "The minister is willing to be the pioneer of the prince, and first go to explore the tone of this marquis!" ”

&

The famous Empress Lu had a son and a daughter in his life, the son was the prince, the later Emperor Hui Liu Ying, and the other daughter was Zhang Yan's mother, Liu Manhua, the princess of Lu Yuan, who now lives in the east side of the Jiaofang Palace.

Zhang Yan stood outside the East Side Hall, stopped for a while, hesitated and did not dare to enter.

She crossed over from later generations and became today's Zhao Guoweng Zhuyan. Although he accepted Zhang Yan's memory, there was still a certain gap about the personnel around Zhang Yan. Princess Lu Yuan is Zhang Yan's biological mother and Zhang Yan's closest relative in this world. I can't help but feel a kind of timidity, and somehow, I can't take this step.

In the palm of the bead curtain in the hall, a female official in yellow poked her head out and said with a fresh smile, "I should be a short-eyed thief who covets the princess, it turns out to be the little master." Why didn't the lord come in? "It's none other than the most convincing princess Ling Cheng Tutu by Lu Yuan's side.

Zhang Yan called with a smile, "Aunt Tu." He naturally entered the East Side Hall.

At first glance, she saw a woman leaning on a couch with a plain brocade quilt carved and lacquered with red sandalwood.

Emperor Gao Liu Bang has eight sons and one daughter, Lu Yuan princess Liu Manhua is his only daughter, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, to the eldest for the reason of the princess of Yuan, the fief for Xue County Lu County. Yuan has the meaning of long, there is a Han dynasty, the eldest princess has a noble status, the position is more than the prince, Princess Lu Yuan was thirteen years old when she descended to Zhang Ao, the son of King Zhao, and gave birth to a daughter in the second year, which is Zhang Yan.

At this time, when she was more than eight months pregnant, she leaned on the pineapple wood carved lacquer **** screen behind her, and the crimson peony embroidery tent was hooked by the bronze tent hook, hanging down on her cheeks, and her appearance was similar to that of Lu Hou, full of maternal brilliance.

Because of the deliberate concealment of the palace people in the palace, she didn't know what happened in the Great Xia Palace yesterday, and when she saw Zhang Yan, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Ah Yan, come here." ”

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's good." Zhang Yan sat down on her ** edge and replied obediently.

Lu Yuan held Zhang Yan's hand and looked at his daughter's eyes flashing with a trace of pity, "I'm sorry for you, if you don't have this incident, you will still be in Xiangguo, being the lord of gold and jade." Now that I'm in this Changle Palace, I can only endure it! ”

She has also been in the palace for a while, naturally she knows how powerful the people in this palace are, and now that King Zhao is in trouble, their mother and daughter were taken into the palace by Empress Lu, and she still has the identity of a princess Yuan, so she will not be treated slowly, but Ah Yan is at a young age, and it is inevitable that she will not look at the faces of the palace people.

"A-Niang said too much," Zhang Yan said with a smile, "I'm really good in Jiaofang Palace, Grandma and Uncle treat me very well, and the palace people in the East Pavilion serve me wholeheartedly," her gaze moved to Lu Yuan's bulging abdomen, "A-Niang doesn't have to worry about me, as long as she takes care of herself and raises my little brother." ”

Hearing Zhang Yan mention her uncle, a smile flashed across Lu Yuan's lips, "Have you already met your uncle?" ”

"Well, my uncle came to visit me yesterday, and I've already seen him!"

She swept over the bamboo slips next to Lu Yuan's pillow, slightly curious, Lu Yuan saw it, and a slight flush flashed on her cheeks, "This is your uncle's family letter from the Tingwei Mansion that you Ah Weng brought over, I have already read it just now, saying that he is all right." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yan's voice was full of joy, "I'll take a look too." He took the bamboo slip, unfolded it quickly in his hand, and then froze slightly at the letter on the bamboo slip.

The letter on the bamboo slip is not long, but it is just a hundred words, Zhang Ao uses the official script that was common in the Han Dynasty, and the handwriting is very handsome, but he can't recognize any of them.

"Look at you," Lu Yuan smiled, stretched out a finger and nodded at her nose, "Don't you know?" He took the bamboo slip in her hand and explained gently,

"You, Awen, said from above, 'He is all right in the court, and we should not worry about him.' Well, I also instructed...... Ah Yan, you must be obedient and obedient when you live in Jiaofang Palace, and don't lift the quilt at night. When he said the last sentence, his face was slightly red.

Zhang Yan didn't notice her expression, and only slightly entangled herself in the cruel fact that she had been studying for more than ten years, and once she had traveled to ancient times two thousand years ago, she had degenerated into illiteracy.

Lu Yuan looked up at her depressed look and said with a smile, "Now I know I'm embarrassed." When I was in Xiangguo, I invited you to an enlightenment master, but you lost your temper and refused to learn. ”

"A-Niang," Zhang Yan covered her face, "People know it's wrong!" ”

Lu Yuan burst out laughing, "Is it okay for A-Niang to teach you to read now?" ”

She nodded, "Okay." ”

"Take the book case and pen and ink."

"Princess," palace man Chunrong bent his knees slightly in front of the window, and persuaded softly, "You are pregnant, so don't be tired!" ”

"It's just to write a few words, where are you tired or not," Lu Yuan disagreed, "Don't go quickly." ”

Chunrong bent his knees and responded to the "promise", and after a while, he took a small vermilion lacquer bookcase and placed it on Princess Lu Yuan's **, Lu Yuan took a wolf pen, dipped it in the polished ink inkstone, and wrote a "Yan" word on the paved silk silk.

"That's the word 'Yan' in your name."

Zhang Yan looked at the upright and beautiful big characters on the silk, "Well, it turns out that the word 'Yan' is written like this!" ”

"Yes," Lu Yuan said, the smile on his face was very gentle, "Yan, it means to smile, this is the name you Ah Weng gave you, he hopes that you can smile all the time, so that you will be happy for a lifetime." ”

Zhang Yan was silent.

Her original names, Yanran and Wan'er, also come from this, which embodies the good wishes of parents for their children.

I haven't gotten used to my new identity yet. But obviously Zhang Ao and Lu Yuan really love their daughter. Should I live well for them?

"Princess Yuan...... Oh no......" A voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and then it fell silent.

Lu Yuan frowned, "What's going on outside?" ”

Tu Tu came back from outside, his face was a little ugly, and he said with a smile, "It's just a few small palace people talking nonsense, and the slave maid has already gone to send it away, so it's okay!" ”

"No," Princess Lu Yuan's expression became solemn, "bring in the person who just spoke." ”

"Princess." Tu Tu urged urgently.

"Didn't Princess Ben's words work?" Lu Yuan's voice sank, and his face also had some majesty.

Tu Tu was helpless, so he had to go under the curtain and give a few orders.

An eleven or twelve-year-old Tsing Yi Xiaogong man stumbled into the hall, threw himself into the hall and knelt down, raised his head and called out sadly, "Princess Yuan, something is wrong, the news just came that Your Majesty ordered Duke Chu to go to the court to interrogate King Zhao, Duke Chu came back, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, and he was already going to behead King Zhao!" ”

"What did you say?" Princess Lu Yuan was shocked and stood up from the couch.
