Two, three, four: dissecting the heart

On the second day of the second month of the second month of the first spring of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the dragon raised its head

Zhang Yan got up in the morning, sat in front of the dresser, and asked Hanlian to comb her bun for her

These days, she stayed in the summer garden to recuperate, stayed at home, and only pulled her hair loosely into a usurper every day, but it was simple and convenient to return to the palace in front of the public today, so she began to make up in the morning

Han Lian was behind Zhang Yan and combed her bun for her

Even though such a long time has passed, standing behind Queen Zhang again, looking at Zhang Yan's shoulder-short green silk, he is still a little turbulent

In the past, Empress Zhang was known for her thick and black hair, and after she really knotted the most complicated four-hairpin bun, there was still a beautiful green silk like the balance of four fingers, but most of it fell in that catastrophe, and the remaining length was more than shoulder-length, and it was held in the hand and could not be pulled up to form the bun

Zhang Yan waited for a while, but didn't see Han Lian's movements, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

After the words blurted out, Fang came to his senses and said with a smile, "I forgot, I have cut off my head."

"With a special bun"

Han Lian bent her knees in response, "No"

The special bun is a fake made of metal in this era, worn on the head, and then inserted twelve phoenix hairpins, looking from afar, like a cluster of flowers as dense and majestic Zhang Yan left from the Xinping Marquis Mansion under the full embrace of the queen's ceremonial drive, entered the car in the east of Weiyang, changed to sit the queen Fengyu, and returned to the long-lost Jiaofang Palace

The people of Jiaofang Palace were waiting in the court, and when they put the queen's board on the ground, they all stretched out their sleeves and bowed to the ground, saying, "The ministers see the queen's mother, may the queen's mother be happy and happy" bowed his head deeply, with a kind of joy that the master has returned after a long absence

"All Up"

After a year's absence, Zhang Yan returned to the Jiaofang Palace, and Zhang Yan was also full of emotion

She once thought that her future life would be far away from this magnificent palace, but unexpectedly, fate played a role, and after turning around, she still returned to the original place

The palace people bent their knees and said, "Queen Niangniang, the ladies of the harem heard that Niangniang came back from the Hou Mansion today, and the Hou is outside the palace, waiting to see Niangniang."

Zhang Yan's health at this time had not yet improved, and when she returned to Weiyang Palace from the Xinping Marquis Mansion, she was a little tired, and said, "Just say that I am tired today, let them come back tomorrow" The voice was cold

"Queen Mother," entered the inner hall, relieved her worries and greeted her, emotional, "You are really back" and cried with joy

Beside her, although Chu Fumu did not speak, his expression was also very happy

"Well, I'm back" Seeing the old man for a long time, Zhang Yan was also very happy, and bowed to everyone, ashamed, "I acted willfully and recklessly that day, which made Fu Mu and you worry about hard work these days."

"Don't you dare" Chu Fu stopped her and asked, "It's just that the queen mother won't plan to leave in the future?" ”

Zhang Yan blushed, "No"

She got up, looked back at the carved railings of the familiar Jiaofang Palace, and said softly, "From this moment on, this is my real home, and my children and I will continue to live here until ......."

"That's good," Chu Fu said with relief, "Since that's the case, in the future, Niangniang will really have to plan for her future life."

In the courtyard in front of the Jiaofang Palace, the palace people looked at each other, still a little dazed, "The queen is really back?" "And the imperial heir in the womb?

Since Empress Zhang ran away a year ago, this year, the palace people of Jiaofang Hall have been frightened, and now, the world has suddenly turned upside down, and it is still like a dream

"How can this be fake?" Tu Yu walked out and said with a smile, "The queen mother has been pregnant for six months, and now she has begun to show her pregnancy, the imperial doctor has also diagnosed the pulse, and Your Majesty has also rewarded us with money, what else is there to believe?" ”

Zhao Changyu is a confidant maid who grew up with Empress Zhang, although she is not in charge of practice, but her status in the Jiaofang Palace is rarely matched, since she came forward to announce, the palace people can finally be sure that their faces will reveal irrepressible joy

As a palace person, their honor and disgrace and joy are closely related to their masters, although Queen Zhang was close to the Son of Heaven, but there was no favor, until this time, in harmony with the Son of Heaven, coupled with pregnancy, it can be regarded as truly sitting firmly in the Jiaofang Palace, and they, the maids in the name of the Middle Palace, also have an unshakable confidence brake time, this year, the low breath of the Jiaofang Palace has been swept away, and every palace person feels full of hope

"Cough," Chu Fu coughed, and all the female envoys in the garden quieted down

"The queen is happy, this is naturally a great joy, let's be slaves, we have to serve carefully for the past year, do a good job, wait for me to understand the queen's mother, and I will have my own needle later"

The female envoy in Tsing Yi in the garden glanced left and right, and replied in unison, "No"

The candle shadow in the Jiaofang hall shook red, and the concubines in the palace, including Yuan Meiren and Mrs. Ding, stood in front of the palace and watched, waiting to see where His Majesty would stay tonight - although the previous rumor was boiling, saying that His Majesty would go to Xinpinghou Mansion to visit Empress Zhang every day, but after all, he did not see the truth, and he still had a glimmer of hope

When it came to the front hall that His Majesty had gone straight to the Jiaofang Palace, these people all bit their silver teeth

Empress Zhang, who returned to Jiaofang Palace, went to Changle Palace to meet Empress Dowager Lu on the second day

On this day, Liu Ying didn't have to go to court early, so she didn't get up early, stretched out her hand from the bed, hugged her wife, and asked, "Can I accompany you over?" ”

"Not good" Zhang Yan chuckled, pressed his hand and put it back, "This trip is what I should have done, if you accompany me, I don't say anything, the Queen Mother should be annoyed"

"Don't worry," she reassured, "I'll handle it."

Zhang Yan waited in front of the Changxin Hall for a moment, and Su Mo greeted him and said with a smile, "It's the queen mother who came over, and the queen mother asked me to lead you in."

Empress Lu sat high in the hall, and when she saw Zhang Yan coming in from under the glass curtain, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised

Although I heard Lu Yuan mention Zhang Yan's weakness at this time, it wasn't until we actually met that I didn't know what Zhang Yan's body had become after this northland ordeal

She was standing in the vermilion hall of Changxin at this time, with a somewhat round face in the past, but now she was thin, her chin was pointed, and her eyes were extraordinarily large, only the six-month-old child in her womb had begun to show her pregnancy, and her body was light, like a pale silhouette, and she couldn't support it in the next moment

"Hurry up and sit down," she said busily, "your child, both pregnant, are so polite"

Zhang Yan thanked him, sat down in the hall, smelled the fragrant aroma from the crane feather incense burner on the side, couldn't help frowning, and couldn't suppress his cough

"What's the matter, Queen Mother?" Su Mo asked with concern

"It's nothing," Zhang Yan smiled reluctantly, "It's just that after I got pregnant, I can't smell the smell of incense, please forgive the Queen Mother."

Lu Hou said, "Remove the incense burner"

The two people in the palace under the curtain bent their knees in response, "No," approached the incense table in the corner of the hall, took out the charcoal fire in the belly of the incense burner and extinguished it, and then took the incense burner out of the Changxin Palace

……

"I heard that Ah Yan was raising a baby in the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and she didn't even get out of bed"

"The Queen Mother forgive me, in fact, my mother is too worried about my body, and it is serious" Zhang Yanyanran, although her body is thin and weak, compared with before, she is more and more slender, "In the first twenty days, I did vomit and couldn't get out of bed, but then I got better, and I was able to walk around the garden and meet guests."

Empress Lu smiled with satisfaction

I don't know when, the subordinates in the Changxin Palace have quietly retreated

"You were spoiled by Your Majesty and your grandmother, so you were bold," Lu Hou flicked Zhang Yan's forehead, "Look, this time, have you suffered a lot?" ”

The previous precarious sitting made Zhang Yan dare not be presumptuous, but now this slightly frivolous intimacy made Zhang Yan feel at ease, leaned on Lu Hou's shoulder, and cried, "Grandma, I really think that you will never forgive Ah Yan in the future?" ”

"How so?"

Lu Hou laughed

"But Ah Yan, you should also learn a lesson"

She made a straight face and reprimanded Zhang Yan, "Look at you, what did you do before?" If it weren't for God's mercy, I would like to bless Your Majesty to return safely without incident, I am afraid that whether it is you, me, or your mother, or even the entire Lu family and the Zhang family, they will suffer a catastrophe."

"Grandma, I know it's wrong" Zhang Yan lowered her head and sincerely repented,

"Grandma, you also know that the incident that night was so humiliating, I just have a good temper, I can't bear it, but, I mean it, even if I get angry again, I still remember that Your Majesty is an uncle who grew up taking care of me, and I never thought about embarrassing Your Majesty, I just really wanted to leave everything in Chang'an and never come back"

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would spend time looking for me later, and even went to the north in person, but I didn't expect that the Huns would attack the north at that juncture."

Lu Hou held the teacup in his hand and paused

This is also what she can't figure out

Speaking of which, although Liu Ying said that she also liked Ah Yan before, she had no intention of crossing the boundary between her uncle and nephew, even if she was in the Tianyi Pavilion where she deliberately arranged the matchmaking, she sent everyone away, and was affected by the double influence of chrysanthemum wine and acacia incense, and in the end, he pushed Ah Yan away

Why, but after Ah Yan left angrily, he made a 180-degree turn, and spent a lot of effort to find Ah Yan's whereabouts and chase him out?

She was suspicious, and asked quietly, "Your Majesty came to the Northland in mid-June?" ”

"Uh," Zhang Yan's face flushed

Although up to now, the relationship with Liu Ying has been settled, and she is even pregnant with Liu Ying's child, in the face of Lu Hou's question about the situation in the north at that time, she was still jerky and said softly, "Yes"

Liu Ying arrived in the north on June 18, and on August 11, Ah Yan disguised herself as a man and entered the Xiongnu military camp, deceiving the king of Lou Fu to withdraw from the army and deduct Liu Ying's kung fu to go back and forth to Yunyang in the middle, and they were in the north for a total of a month and a half

A month and a half

Empress Lu groaned slightly

In just forty-five days, all the uncles and nephews of the past ten years were overturned, and the two of them were not only affectionate, but even, her eyes glanced at Zhang Yan's slightly bulging abdomen, and even had a child

"The history of Tong in Shiqu Pavilion was changed by His Majesty's order? Although the location is wrong, the time is roughly correct This child was conceived in the Northland in August? ”

"Grandma," Zhang Yan blushed, "You-"

"What," Empress Lu didn't look down on Zhang Yan's shyness, and sneered, "Since you dare to do it, don't you dare to answer?" ”

Now that the layer of face has been torn apart, Zhang Yan groaned for a while, but calmed down, "The problem has been solved, what am I going to do nonsense again" Zhang Yan muttered, and suddenly smiled coincidentally, "Grandma asked me to conceive a child within two years, although the process was a bit unexpected, but after all, the goal was achieved, didn't it?" ”

Empress Lu sneered, "Yo, my old man can't stand this kind of stimulation, so don't mess around anymore in the future."

"I know I'm really not good this time," Zhang Yan said, "But to do extraordinary things, there must always be some extraordinary methods These days, I always think, why when I was in the palace, no matter how hard I worked, Your Majesty was indifferent As a result, I gave up leaving Weiyang Palace, and Your Majesty chased after me."

"Came up with something?"

"I think," Zhang Yanyanran, "this is the truth that does not break and does not stand, when I am by His Majesty's side, His Majesty does not feel my benefits, although he misses my deep affection, but he always can't make up his mind, but after I left, His Majesty woke up to his feelings for me and wanted to redeem it."

"Won't it stand if it doesn't break?" Empress Lu groaned slightly

There is some truth to that

"Besides," Zhang Yanyanran said, "Grandma, don't you think, Your Majesty has become more mature and more mature than before after this difficulty in the Northland."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Empress Lu's eyebrows furrowed, and she said angrily, "Don't you think that the trouble you broke out is justified?" ”

"I didn't mean that" Zhang Yan admitted her mistake, but she didn't panic, and said softly, "I think Your Majesty's safety is more important than myself in my heart, when Your Majesty is in trouble, I am worried and sad, and I want to replace it with my body, but in principle, I still think that men have to go through some hardships to grow up."

After a long time, Lu Hou said excitedly, "What you said is not unreasonable."

"Okay, you're weak, go back and raise the baby"

"Grandma," Zhang Yan got up and said, "Don't worry, Ah Yan still wants to ask you to keep a matchmaker."

The draft version comes back and revises it

Theoretically, if you come back late tomorrow, it might be a little later, but it will
