Old lady Xiahou's real name is Xiahou Shu, and her father Xiahou Ba is also the right-hand man of Cao Mengde, the king of Cao Wu, and has great power.

Of course, in order to consolidate his position, Xiahou Ba thought about giving his daughter to King Cao Wu as a concubine.

At that time, King Cao Wu was already fifty years old, and he suffered from a head disease, and when he got sick, he had a splitting headache and killed several of his concubines in a blur.

In such a terrifying and bloody harem atmosphere, no one dared to send their daughter into the palace.

But in order to show his loyalty, Xiahou Ba took his daughters to participate in the annual cold banquet of King Cao Wu.

Xiahou Shu, who had just passed the age of Jilu, had already liked the young general Yanghu, and heard that his father said that he would marry King Cao Wu, and Yanghu would rush to the battlefield after the big cold banquet, almost out of control, crying bitterly and begging his father not to do this.

But how could Xiahou Ba lose his rights and status because of his daughter's plea, and scolded sharply: "As the daughter of the Xiahou family, you must know how to make trade-offs and sacrifices!" ”

Xiahoushu's sister Xiahouyuan is widowed at home, she looks a little similar to her sister, seeing such a situation, she directly pulled her sister Xiahoushu back to the backyard and put forward a proposal to get the best of both worlds.

On the day of the big cold banquet, the wine and meat were in full swing, and Xiahou Shu surprised the four people with a song "A Dream of Shocking", and sang a very tactful word: "The moon before the flower, the dream of the storm." Letterhead, pious. The smoke of gunpowder rose, and he sighed, but what could he do...... You can see that the concubine is in love. Life depends on each other, death depends on each other. What a ......?"

It is really the tears of those who hear it, and the heartbreak of those who see it.

With such bold lyrics and songs, Xiahou Shu expressed his heart to General Yanghu present.

She put her long red sleeves in his hand in front of everyone.

On such an occasion, King Cao Wu was not easy to marry Xiahou Shu, and he had to behave extremely generously and open-mindedly.

After inquiring about the matter, he directly gave Xiahou Shu and Yanghu a marriage, and even rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold.

After the people of the Xiahou family came out of the list of thanksgiving, Xiahou Yuan suddenly stayed alone, saying that he could also dance in a shocking way, and he was willing to win the favor of King Cao Wu.

Facing the equally beautiful Xiahou Yuan, King Cao Wu naturally would not refuse, and watched the dance of beauties again with great interest.

After the big cold banquet, the widowed Xiahou Yuan was welcomed into the palace and became the concubine of King Cao Wu.

Of course, things changed again.

For example, Xiahou Yuan was killed, Xiahou Ba fled, and Yanghu became the founding general of the Western Jin Dynasty because he followed the Sima family.

Today, the people involved are long gone.

This secret past has long since disappeared.

If it weren't for Yang Xianrong growing up with Xiahou Shu and listening to her talk about the past, he wouldn't have known such a past.

But Sima Zhen even knew, who said he knew?

Just when Yang Xianrong was surprised, Sima Zhen picked up the hot porridge on the table, took a sip, and asked, "What about the osmanthus cake?" Why haven't you yet? ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Cui Xi hurriedly ran in, and presented a few square rice cakes.

"This is osmanthus cake?" Sima Zhen paused, "Queen, it's not good to deceive me that this is osmanthus cake, right?" ”

"It's osmanthus cake." Yang Xianrong immediately took the plate, pointed to the small silk flower on it and said, "This is osmanthus, this rice cake is ordered with some osmanthus oil, and it is even more fragrant." ”

As she spoke, she pinched a piece of it herself and ate it.

Indeed, the aroma of osmanthus gradually spreads, and there is a unique fragrance.

"The concubine doesn't like such sweet food, so she will put jasmine to stimulate the aroma. Do you smell it, is there still a kind of fragrance? ”

Sima Zhen also learned from the appearance of a sheep, pinched up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's really delicious, these are all mine." In the future, the queen will also prepare more such pastries for me to eat. ”

"This was brought by the second brother." Yang Xianrong took the opportunity to whisper a reminder.

However, Sima Zhen just ate another piece of osmanthus cake and asked Zhang Du to take all the rest of the land away. "Queen, I said, if you want anything, you can exchange it with me. Anything goes. It's okay if you don't want to dance, but you have to come up with something to exchange it for fun! ”

"The concubine knows." Having said that, the sheep sacrifice can no longer be forced.

After Sima Zhen left, Yang Xianrong didn't say anything to Yang Xiankang, and asked him to hurry out of the palace and go home to "hug the sick".

She touched Yaoqin for a while, touched shakuhachi for a while, and asked Lan Xiang to pick out a few extremely gorgeous silk dresses from the dowry, and later found a set of costumes...... From the front yard to the dormitory, and from the dormitory to the warehouse, in short, the people of the Tianyuan Hall were also tossed and turned over, and they could not be stopped.

It wasn't until late that it became quieter, and only one oil lamp remained in the dormitory.

Cui Xi was still cleaning up the items she had found during the day, and Yang Xianrong quietly came out of the side door of Tianyuan Hall with Lan Xiang and went to Yingliu Lake in the dark.

It was a slightly warm night and there was no wind.

Because of Concubine Li and Ru Meiren, the curfew is still being enforced in the palace, and no one dares to go out at will.

There are sporadic sounds of musical instruments playing in the courtyards, and they are all very slight.

The melodious sound is more and more beautiful in the dark night.

They all want to show their hands at the Great Cold Banquet, what do they get from Sima Zhen?

Yang Xianrong thought and sighed.

It is said that the emperor's family wants anything, but the emperor's woman is the most humble.

Sima Zhen has a lot of concubines, and after being abolished before, Jia Nanfeng blocked and imprisoned, and many people couldn't get ahead. Now, it seems that he can get close to Sima Zhen, but the emperor's strange temperament and temperament always make people unclear, and the road to currying favor has become extremely difficult.

Just like today's events, Sima Zhen relieved himself and his second brother, but was this out of his original intention?

The area of Yingliu Lake is not small, and the water surface is open.

There is a row of palace lanterns hanging above the treetops by the lake, which serves as a light and warning.

After all, there are often palace people who drown here, and there will also be forbidden troops patrolling here.

Yang Xianrong was not half afraid, and even a little excited.

Lan Xiang went out to inquire in the afternoon and learned that the grandmother who was good at playing shakuhachi would appear on the shore of Yingliu Lake on the fourth day of the new year.

Today happened to be the fourth year of junior high school, and she thought that she should always try. Only then did he quietly come here with Lanxiang.

"Girl, you can't find anyone either, can you? Why don't you blow a little bit? Maybe people heard the sound and came out? Lan Xiang tugged at her sleeve, a little nervous.

Thinking about it, it makes sense, and Yang Xianrong casually blew two short syllables.

The shore of Yingliu Lake is very quiet, and the moonlight is getting brighter, but the brilliance of the palace lamp is compared.

The sudden desolate sound of the shakuhachi caused a commotion from some waterfowl or rats, but it soon calmed down again.

Soon, however, the wooden master who was in charge of the sprinkler in the palace came over when he heard the sound and asked loudly, "Who is this?" Curfew in the palace, do you know it? ”

Yang Xianrong and Lan Xiang didn't say anything, still watching for anyone else around them.

The wooden master carried the lantern, approached and found that it was the queen, so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "The slave didn't know that the queen's mother had arrived, and the slave was wrong!" ”
