Xue Chongxun met Gao in the front hall of Chengxiang Palace. The two of them said politely for a while. Gao mainly asked Princess Taiping's physical condition and looked very concerned. Xue Chongxun only said that he still needed to recuperate, but did not explain in detail. Gao, who lived in the Daming Palace, probably knew more about Princess Taiping's situation than he himself.

After asking Princess Taiping, Gao asked about the fight against the rebellion and war. Xue Chongxun thought that women were mostly not interested in the process of fighting and killing, but seeing that Gao was serious and wanted to hear, he just wanted to talk to him more and strengthen his relationship.

He said simply: "The people were exhausted and their wealth was damaged, and they were killed and killed. The road from Cijian to Dongdu was full of dead bodies and wounded soldiers, and the sorrow was terrible."

Just one sentence, Gao naturally could not feel the tragic situation, but she also made a sad expression, and her expressions and movements were very appropriate.

Xue Chongxun felt that this serious way of speaking was really depressing, as if he was talking to an old man in the court, but the queen in front of him was obviously only in her teenage years... Xue Chongxun couldn't help but look at her during the conversation. She had a goose-shaped face and her forehead was full and smooth. Although she was wearing heavy makeup, she still could not hide the traces of youth.

She seemed to be deliberately dressing herself up as a stern person, wearing a wide dress with a garment, a big sleeveless dress with a variegated skirt without a zoo pattern, which looked really unmatched, just like a girl wearing an old woman's clothes. Moreover, Gao's figure is thinner and he can't hold up such clothes, and his waist looks empty.

The strangest thing is the golden fake finger on her hand. When she was sitting dignifiedly, the fake finger was placed on her knees with various patterns on her head. Xue Chongxun sat farther and couldn't see what was on her head. But in his impression, only Empress Dowager Cixi was wearing fake fingers. Now she saw a young woman wearing it, and you can imagine the feeling.

Her expression was as strange as a false finger, serious. Even if she smiled and felt sad, she would make seven points, and she would express it as needed. She spoke slowly, and she had thought about every word, which was not in line with her crisp voice... This voice, Xue Chongxun felt that she should speak lightly like Bai Qimei.

In short, Empress Gao gave Xue Chongxun the impression: an old girl.

Seeing that Xue Chongxun was unwilling to talk about the war, she smiled awkwardly and lowered her head to make her fake fingers. She should be taking the opportunity to think about new topics.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun made an exception and spoke: "After conquering the Dongdu, local officials held a celebration banquet. I met a beautiful woman who was known as the 24th floor courtesan there, which was quite interesting."

Gao immediately showed a very interested look and said slowly: "I have heard of the courtesan, that must be very beautiful. Xue Lang is so romantic and unruly."

Xue Chongxun heard that it is not only men who are interested in beauties, but women are also interested in them, but I wonder if the interest expressed by Gao is real... This woman's life is not real in Xue Chongxun's opinion, just like she is acting all the time.

He said: "It is naturally good to win such a great reputation. Her name is Bu Feiyan. Of course, it is mostly because of the stage name but not the real name. I have never met someone with the surname Bu."

Gao suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I heard in the palace that Xue Lang wrote a poem at the banquet in Dongdu, saying, "The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, flows to the sea and never returns...", which was written at the celebration banquet?"

Xue Chongxun laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to spread so quickly. Yes, that time, Bu Feiyan asked everyone to write lyrics and sing, and he had to write me, so he had to show his ugly words."

"Xue Lang is not showing off his ugly face. He has surpassed all the scholars and talents in Dongdu. That woman is mostly impressed by Xue Lang's talent. Is there a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman?" Gao gently raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and his eyes smiled into a moon bay.

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said, "The living people in the world are not as leisurely as in the story. She is not impressed by her talent, but she pleads for Yao Chong."

Gao's eyebrows gently slammed and said slowly: "I'm afraid..."

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "The queen misunderstood. I said this was not a plea for Yao Chong. Although he had no marriage with me, he had no friendship. I can't go against the Tang Dynasty's law for a singing girl, and I have to save him, Yao Chong?"

Gao nodded thoughtfully.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Queen, don't be so tense. Let's not talk about serious matters. It should be another interesting little thing for me to start with Feiyan."

"Tell me, how interesting is it?" Gao looked at him with a smile.

Xue Chongxun began to make a fool of himself: "The courtesan is good at calculating people's character, and his gameplay is very novel. I think it's quite accurate... It's not fortune telling, don't have a birth date, you just need to know a certain month and a certain day."

He thought to himself that as the queen, Gao's family would never have the chance to meet a singer in this life. They just put it on Bu Feiyan, and find a source for his nonsense.

Gao said, "How to make a novel method?"

Xue Chongxun said: "It was said that it was from the country of Fuzhi (Eastern Rome). Isn't there twelve months a year? She compared the twelve months one by one to the twelve zodiac signs in the sky. Then she paired the birthdays of people and found their own zodiac signs. Each zodiac sign has some characteristics, so people's personalities are different."

"It's really novel. I haven't heard of it before." Gao said with interest, "What kind of star is Xue Lang? Is it accurate?"

Xue Chongxun said: "Of course I think it's interesting because I'm right. What's the birthday of the queen? How can I calculate for you?"

Gao looked a little embarrassed, but this time he should be really interested and whispered: "I was born on Double Ninth Festival."

Xue Chongxun thought that the calendar used now can barely be counted as the lunar calendar, but the constellation said it was something from the West, so it was naturally the solar calendar... I only have a rough estimate. Anyway, it's just a joke, and it's not a big deal if I don't estimate what she belongs to, it's not a big deal. He then calculated mysteriously and said, "The queen is a Scorpio."

Perhaps because the word "scorpion" is not a good word in people's hearts, it reminds people of words such as "heart is like a poisonous scorpion", and Gao frowned slightly. Xue Chongxun naturally didn't expect so much just now. Seeing this, he felt a little shocked. He thought of talking nonsense about Aries or Pisces and other cute animals... Fortunately, he is not afraid of the queen now, so he doesn't have to flatter him at all times. If it is an ordinary person who makes the queen unhappy like this, it is obviously a very bad thing.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly explained: "The twelve zodiac signs in the sky are not good or bad, but they just give their names if they look like them, and there is no malice."

The unhappiness on Gao's face soon disappeared and he said calmly: "What is that Scorpio person?"

Xue Chongxun sighed in his heart, thinking that he couldn't even relax his words with the people in the power center. He originally wanted to gossip, but unexpectedly, he would make others think too much if he was not careful... I'm afraid Gao thought he was talking about something big.

He was a little depressed, but he continued to say that he naturally had to continue. He thought for a while and could only say what he remembered: "Born in autumn, he was calm and wise, calm on the surface, but he could be a volcano inside..." According to his memory, he slowly used a nonsense to say it.

After a long time, Gao finished speaking, and his eyebrows were lowered and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Xue Chongxun reminded: "I'm just talking about it. The queen doesn't need to think too much, nor do I know if it's accurate. The specific fortune teller is still inaccurate in terms of birth dates, let alone the rough calculation based on the month."

Gao looked up and smiled, not saying anything.

At this time, Xue Chongxun turned his head and looked at the sun outside the door. Gao said, "It's time for lunch, so let's stop here today. I hope Your Highness Taiping will recover as soon as possible... By the way, there is another important thing I forgot to say: Xue Lang is a pillar of the country, and now he is the prince, so he should be guarded by the guard. The Flying Tiger Regiment was originally an imperial guard, and the South Ya cannot take care of it. Yesterday, His Majesty agreed to transfer the Flying Tiger Regiment's imperial guard to the Jin Palace to serve."

Xue Chongxun hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I thank Your Majesty Empress."

Gao pondered for a moment and asked again: "Your Highness Xue Erlang asked him to return to Hedong. Do you think he should be allowed to return to Beijing and restore the throne?"

Gao's continued to give benefits to Xue Chongxun's people, which was naturally to show sincerity in forming an alliance, but she was indeed a little embarrassed about Erlang Xue Chongjian's affairs: everyone in the royal family knew that Erlang was a person who was inclined to Li Longji, which made Princess Taiping dissatisfied with being demoted back to Hedong.

Although Princess Taiping could not take charge of the matter, the matter was still complicated. Now both the Taiping Party and the royal family were vigilant and preventive. Because the current emperor Li Shouli belonged to the Prince Zhanghuai branch, Li Dan was the brother of Prince Zhanghuai, and he was equal in terms of blood. When Li Dan was in the throne, Prince Zhanghuai's lineage was weak, so he naturally did not have the strength to be a competitor of imperial power. Despite this, Li Shouli, as the son of Prince Zhanghuai, was also exiled to be far away and was actually sent to Youzhou as the governor. Of course, the farther away from the capital, the better.

Now that Prince Zhang Huai's army has taken office by chance, we must be more careful about the people on Li Dan's side, not to mention that Li Dan is still practicing Taoism before he dies.

Xue Chongxun understood these things. When he heard Queen Gao asks, he said, "The second brother has no real mistakes, and it is indeed a bit aggrieved to be removed from the throne. If Your Majesty is kind to restore the title of Prince Lijie, I should serve as my second brother's *** holy grace... However, the second brother said last time that he was not convinced by the waters and soil of Chang'an, so he would let him stay in Hedong."

He said this, and helping his brothers win the throne is a family affection. It is also in line with the needs of the royal family. The people on Li Shouli's side, including Empress Gao, certainly did not want to see a prince who once leaned towards Li Dan staying in Chang'an.
