Chapter Ninety-Seven: Living in Another Palace

"It's not embarrassing, it can win the joy of the dragon's face, eliminate the fatigue of traveling and driving along the way, and be a mere beauty, what is it."

In the hazy dawn, Lu Yuan couldn't see the expression on Zhang Ao's face clearly, and only heard him say lightly.

Although she was not born in the emperor's family, since she can remember, her father has been fighting in the north and south, and her mother has been a hostage in Chuying for two years.

The family has been pushed to the forefront several times, and has fallen to the bottom several times, and those means that are comparable to the treacherous palace struggle in the pre-Qin period have also entered her field of vision.

Therefore, for Zhang Ao's actions, she didn't know it, she didn't understand, she just didn't want to, and she couldn't bear to see him become like this.

What's more, there is always a little weirdness in offering nothing to be courteous.

"Zhao Meiren's knife dance is really good-looking, I haven't seen her dance much on weekdays, and I don't know when she practiced it.

I knew earlier, let her teach me too, so as to save me clumsiness. ”

Lu Yuan complained.

Zhang Ao smiled, reached out and patted the top of her head gently,

"That's the same as fist and foot kung fu, it's all a child's kung fu that has been practiced since childhood, and you only start practicing it halfway, so you definitely can't practice it well.

You just have to live your life, there are so many things in Zhao Kingdom, is it difficult for you to worry about it? ”

"Zhao Meiren's hometown, is it really Jizi North Korea?"

"Is this still fake?" Zhang Ao was surprised,

"North Koreans are still white and black, and they like cranes, haven't you seen all the items in her residence embroidered with cranes?"

Lu Yuan thought about it sideways and asked the question she was most concerned about,

"Then in the future, won't she go back to Luoyang with her father?"

"It should be, it depends on her creation."

After a pause, Zhang Ao replied,

"If you can go higher and farther, who wouldn't?"

So, are you actually willing to go, or is the place you really want to go to is the highest place in the world?

Lu Yuan asked him secretly in his heart, feeling that overnight, his body seemed to be half dead, and he broke the ground and reborn something, and replaced it.

The dead half is a carefree maiden bride, who wakes up every day and only sees a corner of the sky above the palace, and those who are jealous and jealous, and love and love for little things;

The newborn blood belongs to the pearl of the founding emperor and empress, the eldest sister of the prince, and the only princess of the Han Empire.

***

The palace people who are still eating have brought the prepared Pingdan food, silently stood in a line, and waited outside the hall.

Lu Yuan followed the tray they were holding, and looked at it one after another, there were steamed cakes filled with dried dates and walnuts, porridge made of japonica rice, almonds and cheese, crucian carp soup, and the roasted beef liver and roasted deer belly that Liu Ji praised the day before yesterday, which were hotly cut into small slices and spread on a lacquer plate.

Only this time, the light of the day was bright, the outline of the palace wall and the palace gradually became clear, and the yellow gates on duty at night routinely inspected the palaces, pinched out the lights, and took down the hanging lanterns.

And a group of small palace people waiting for the morning woke up one after another, holding steaming painted lacquer and large basins, silk handkerchiefs and other things, quietly came out of the hall, Lu Yuan knew that his father and Zhao Meiren had already gotten up.

Lu Yuan raised his head slightly, feeling the first rays of sunlight shining on his face, and there was some warmth, warm.

She took a deep breath of the cold air of the early morning, and the wind blowing from the Hun steppe in her breath carried the dust raised in the most hidden corners of Handan City, and from now on, it seemed that they all had something to do with her.

She nodded to the yellow door, and together with Zhang Ao, stepped into the hall.

***

After five days of repairing, in the farewell of Zhao Guojun and his ministers, Liu Ji and his entourage embarked on a triumphant return journey.

Before leaving the palace, he said to Lu Yuan with a rare kind attitude,

"Now that you have grown up and become a bit of a queen, your mother and I are very pleased.

If you want, when Zhang Ao comes to Luoyang to meet you, you will come with him, and you will stay in the palace for a few more days to accompany your mother. ”

"Well, my father has a safe journey, take care, don't forget to continue to drink medicine."

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking of his mother, his eyes were a little hot.

Zhang Ao quickly glanced at the slim Zhao Meiren behind Liu Ji, and stepped forward again,

"Your Majesty, the road is lonely, do you want to simply take Zhao Ji with you-"

"-No need, it's too much trouble."

Liu Ji said, turned around and held the beauty's hand, and said with a smile,

"You can live here in peace, and I will come to see you later."

"Yes, the concubine obeys the holy decree."

Zhao Meiren smiled, glanced at Liu Ji affectionately, and bowed down.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan quietly looked at Zhang Ao, and then at Zhao Meiren, Zhang Ao's disappointment was difficult to hide, but Zhao Meiren's calm eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Liu Ji's eyes searched the crowd, first nodded at Lu Shizhi, and then found Zhang Cang's white face, and said to him,

"I'm going to plan when I see it, I'm waiting for you in Luoyang.

A few days ago, the few officials you mentioned who were familiar with government affairs brought them to Luoyang and let me meet them.

Also, if Liu Jing has a letter over there, send me an urgent report of 800 miles. ”

After that, he looked around at the princes and ministers of Zhao who were kneeling down,

"Okay, I'm back to the court, you don't have to go out of the city, just say goodbye here.

Defend Zhao Guo well for me, don't be careless! ”

Liu Ji laughed, boarded the imperial chariot, and everyone knelt on the ground, shouting long live from the mountain, and sending off the emperor.

When the long convoy walked away, Zhang Aofang slowly got up, stretched out his hand to help Lu Yuan, and explained to her,

"Zhao Meiren's identity is different now, and she will never be able to live with other concubines in the future.

You set up a separate palace for her, and arrange a group of proper people to serve her full-time, far away, separated from everyone.

On weekdays, let the medical officer often go to ask for pulse, and the pulse case should be registered. ”

Lu Yuan responded on the one hand, and secretly thought on the other hand, even if Zhao Meiren was pregnant in just a few days, what calculation could he make in it?

***

Liu Jing, who was remembered by the emperor, was at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, looking forward to the good news from the Central Plains.

After living in the steppe for a long time, he was gifted and intelligent, and basically mastered the daily life language of the Huns, and even learned a lot of herdsmen's farm work.

Early in the morning, Liu Jing was idle, and was milking goats for the old herdsman in the felt tent next door as usual, when he suddenly saw Nie San, a businessman in the border area, wrapped in a new black coat, grinning with a big mouth, running towards him from a distance like a bear.

As soon as Zang Di announced the blockade of the border and rebelled, the Xiongnu steppe got the news.

Lao Nie made a fortune by speculative business, and when he heard the news of the changes in the Han region, he was a little gearing up, and he was about to go back to find business opportunities, but was persuaded by Liu Jing.

"Why can't you go?

Zang Tu rebelled, probably to go south from Jicheng to Luoyang. I'm going to Yanmen County at this time, it's safe after all. ”

Old Nie was puzzled.

"I advise you not to go, but listen to me.

I always feel that the imperial court has been prepared for this for a long time, whether it is from the hands of people or from the deployment, it will definitely send troops unexpectedly and quickly, blocking Zang Di at the door of the lair and beating him. ”
