Changle Palace is still the same Changle Palace. Chen Jiao looked at the magnificent pillars and bead curtains around her. It was obviously the first time I saw it, but it had appeared countless times in my memory. This feeling was indeed very strange.

If Liu Che grew up in Yilan Palace, then Gillian grew up in Changle Palace. Empress Dowager Dou only gave birth to two sons and one daughter, and Princess Guantao only gave birth to one daughter. So as the only granddaughter of the empress dowager, Gillian was often taken to Changle Palace to play since she was a child. For the young Gillian, the slightly dark Changle Palace, the kind grandmother, and the uncles of the Dou family who came and went, became the whole of her childhood. However, she met Liu.

After Che, there was only Liu Che in her world. I remember that on the second day of her wedding, my grandmother smiled and said, "One day in the future, we Jiaojiao will become the hostess of Changle Palace." On that day, the sun was warm and the wind was high, and my grandmother's smile reflected the shadow of flowers and the slight birds. The scene of that day left a deep impression on Gillian Gillian's memory, and once made her think that it was eternity. Unfortunately, when my grandmother died, Gillian Gillian's position was lost.

Wang Shi sent Yu Xin to inform her early in the morning to visit Changle Palace. Changle Palace is not a beautiful place. The glorious deeds of the most famous owner of this palace, Lu Zhi, cast a layer of gray on the palace. Chen Jiao looked at Yu Xin walking in front of her and suddenly felt that the long corridor seemed to have no end. However, she had grown up in this palace since she was a child and knew that the front convenience was the most famous place in Changle Palace. The bell room was originally a room where chimes bells were placed in Changle Palace, but when Han Xin, who had "excellent achievements and nowhere to be born", became the first hero killed by Empress Liu Bang and Empress Lu. After she died in this small palace, it became the forbidden area of ​​the entire Changle Palace. Even when Chen Jiao was the most naughty girl, she was strictly forbidden to set foot here.

After Yu Xin pushed open the long-clogged door of the bell room, Chen Jiao saw Wang Shi standing alone in front of a row of chimes, with his back facing the door.

"Empress, Empress Chen is here." Yu Xin said.

"You finally came back to the palace." Wang Shi turned around and looked at Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao was silent. She didn't know what Wang Zhi was going to do for her, but she would never dare to underestimate this woman who survived safely in the harem of Emperor Jing of Han and pushed her son to the throne. You should know that although Emperor Jing of Han was famous for his frugality in history, his preference for beauties was not inferior to any emperor in history. The number of beauties in the harem of Emperor Jing of Han was definitely very large. In this huge group of beauties, the empress dowager who escaped did not rely on beauty, but on means.

"That time, you said, you are different from Yu Ming. So you don't have so-called notes, everything is in your mind."

"Yes, Empress." Chen Jiao responded.

"So, where are you and Yu Lei?" Wang Shi suddenly asked.

"If you can ask this, it seems that the Empress did read that note." Chen Jiao said. That time in Yuzhuang, Wang Shi originally wanted to get the notes she made from her. Her answer was, no. And she asked Wang Shi to go back to the palace to take a good look at what Yu Ming left for her before talking.

Wang Shi took out a yellowed notebook from his arms and said, "The Ai family didn't plan to read it, because the Ai family was destroyed on it in this life."

Chen Jiao watched Wang Shi walk to her side, knowing that she doesn't need to speak at this moment, just listen quietly.

"When we met, he was over thirty years old, and the Ai family was just a child who was not as good as the screen." Wang Shi said lightly, "The Ai family saved the injured him, and that was the beginning of the relationship. Unfortunately, he left after knowing the name of the Ai family. When he came back, the Ai family had entered the palace." There were still some words that Wang Shi did not say. After Yu Ming left, she realized that she was pregnant. If it weren't for this, her originally ambitious mother would not have married her into the Jin family early.

"But if he had not told Xi'e that one day, the Ai family would be in charge of the world. The mother might not have taken the Ai family away from the Jin family and sent it to the palace. If it weren't for the note that Yu Lei left him, we should have been much happier. The so-called intelligence was mistaken by intelligence, probably that's it." Speaking of this, Wang Shi's face showed a self-deprecating smile, and raised the notes in his hand and said, "I got this note after he died. The Sad Family learned that the cemetery he chose was under the tree in the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion that he realized that he was good to the Ai family, not because of guilt, but because..."

"Empress Dowager, the deceased is gone." Yu Xin reached out to support Wang Shi and comforted him, "You must mourn."

"Ai family is fine." Wang Shi shook his hand and handed the notes to Chen Jiao. "Ajiao, you have always been a smart child. Why did you change like this now? The Ai family doesn't want to ask again. I will give this note to you, and I hope you can handle it properly."

Chen Jiao looked at the notes in her hand and felt a lot of indescribable feeling in her heart. She asked, "Empress Dowager, why don't you hand this over to Your Majesty?"

"Because the person who is most suitable to deal with it is you." Wang Shi said, "Whether it is the Ai family and Yu Ming back then, or the Cheer now, they have been fooled by this dead object. Gillian, Cheer is the most desirable child in the Ai family. I hope you can take him out of the dungeon he drew for himself."

"The dungeon he drew for himself..." Chen Jiao pinched the notes in her hand, unable to help but feel confused.

"Giao, now the Empress Dowager and I have the same idea. One day, you will definitely become the hostess of Changle Palace." Wang Shi said with a smile, "When you choose to stay in the palace and no longer escape, the Ai family confirmed this."

No, you are wrong. Queen Mother, I want to leave, but my wish to leave this palace has never changed. But I can't go out. Chen Jiao said silently in her heart.

"Giao Jiao, Che'er has always been a decisive child. From childhood to adulthood, as long as it is something he believes, he will never give up easily." Wang Shi said meaningfully, "This is true for the world, and so for you."

...

Chen Jiao walked out of the hall in a daze, and Wang Zhi's last words were still echoing in his ears.

"Empress Lü killed Han Xin in the Zhongshi, so that the world knows that the Han Dynasty is not only the world of Emperor Gaozu. Although the female body is soft, the blood of the Zhongshi symbolizes the hardness of softness. Changle Weiyang, Changle Weiyang, but Changle Weiyang is Changle in front and Weiyang behind. Jiao, do you understand? The mistress in the Jiaofang Palace is just the emperor's woman, and only the mistress in Changle Palace is the real mother of the world. However, the road from Jiaofang Palace to Changle Palace is never easy to walk."

"Aunt." Liu Huichen was waiting outside the hall. When he saw Chen Jiao coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, helped her and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's okay." Chen Jiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm a little tired, let's go back."

...

"Empress Dowager, do you hope that Empress Chen can be restored?" Yu Xin asked.

"No." Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "The Ai family just hopes that Ajia knows how to protect himself in the future. In this palace, only softness cannot be achieved. Only hardness and softness can protect herself and protect the relationship between Wanger and her."

...

In the middle of the temporary target, a boy in brown clothes was holding a bow and arrow, staring at the target like a wolf. Three gorgeously dressed little girls knelt on a mat and watched, and a chubby little boy crawled around the table. Wei Zifu smiled and sat upright, with the smile on his face giving people a feeling of spring breeze and rain.

"Brother Gobian, that, that, cum!" Princess Zhuyi Liu Ying jumped up happily and pointed to a red target not far away and said.

"I understand." Huo Qubing opened his bow weakly. His riding and shooting skills had become the entertainment tool for several little princesses, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

"Okay, Yingying." Princess Wei Liu Xin was older, so she naturally saw the impatience on Huo Qubing's face. "After playing for so long, Brother Qubing should rest."

"Yes, sister." Liu Ying spent most of her birth with her two sisters, and this elder sister was still very powerful in her heart.

"Brother Qubing, come and rest for a while." Princess Yangshi Liu Yu stopped teasing her younger brother Liu Ju, and shouted at Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing wiped away the sweat from his forehead, walked slowly to the three of them, took the kettle handed by the palace maid, and drank it gurglingly.

"Brother Qubing, you are so awesome." Princess Yangshi Liu Yu was just the age to change her teeth. As soon as she spoke, she exposed two large empty doors, which caused Huo Qubing to look at him in surprise. She immediately realized something, immediately reached out to cover her mouth, ran to the side and shouted: "Don't look!"

"I understand!" Huo Qubing responded angrily, turned around and threw the kettle to the palace maid, walked to the table and knelt down. Sure enough, Princess Zhuyi Liu Ying immediately rushed into his arms. Huo Qubing reached out and pinched Liu Ying's white and tender face and said, "Can't you slow down?"

"Brother Qubing, it hurts!" Liu Ying reached out and tried to remove Huo Qubing's hand raging on his face, and his deformed little face said vaguely.

"Not like a girl at all. Why don't you learn from your sister?" Huo Qubing put down his hand and patted her little head.

"Hehe." Liu Ying didn't say anything, just rubbed her face and smiled foolishly.

Although that's it, among the three cousins, Huo Qubing's favorite is this slightly silly little cousin. Perhaps because since she was sensible, her mother has been the queen, so this sister is even more simple and heartless. In comparison, her two sisters are not like this, especially... Huo Qubing looked up at Princess Guard Liu Xin, who was smiling very gently in front of her. This cousin is the most like an aunt, always so gentle and smiling on her face.

"Brother Qubing, your martial arts are getting better and better. You will soon be able to lead the army like your uncle." Liu Xin said when he noticed Huo Qubing's eyes.

"It's still far away." Huo Qubing shook his head. He was not modest, but was stating the facts.

Hearing this, Wei Zifu smiled and said, "But he has such skills before he gets rid of his illness and has been in the twentieth crown. This is not even your uncle can compare to that back then. Our Wei family will depend on you in the future."

"Thank you for your compliment, aunt." Huo Qubing bowed and thanked. For some reason, no matter how gentle the aunt's attitude was, he always gave him a deep feeling, which made it difficult for him to act as a child in front of the queen's concubine.

At this time, Cui Yiyi ran over from a short distance, immediately attracting Wei Zifu's attention.

"Empress!" Cui Yiyi walked to Wei Zifu and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty said that there is something important, so you can't come."

"..." In just a moment, Wei Zifu's smile became a little stagnant, and then he said, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and there is no time to come." Then he stood up and signaled several palace maids to take Liu Ju away, saying, "Xin'er, Yu'er, Ying'er, you three and your brother Qubing have fun here. The mother will return to the palace first."

When Liu Yu heard this, his smile disappeared immediately. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Xin beside her gently pinched her waist, and immediately let her swallow the words she wanted to complain back into her stomach. Liu Xin smiled and stood up and said, "Daughter, I respectfully send my mother to my mother!" Everyone followed Liu Xin and knelt down to see him off.

Back in the Jiaofang Hall, Wei Zifu turned around and asked, "Where has Your Majesty been?"

"Go back to Empress, Your Majesty, go to Zhaoyang Palace." Cui Yiyi said softly.

"Zhaoyang Palace." Wei Zifu murmured. Thinking of the warm family drama that he had been arranged early this morning, she couldn't keep Liu Che. She smiled bitterly. When facing that person, the only weapon in her hand was the children under her knees, but Liu Che didn't even look at it. If this continues, do you really have a chance of winning?

"but……"

"But what?" Wei Zifu asked.

"However, the person in Zhaoyang Palace was recruited by the Queen Mother early this morning. The person in Zhaoyang Palace is the master of Guantao. Your Majesty is afraid that he will go to see her." Cui Yiyi said.

"Guantao." Wei Zifu narrowed his eyes, Liu Piao's face appeared in his mind, and said lightly, "She hasn't been to Weiyang Palace for a long time."

Cui Yiyi, who knew Wei Zifu very well, couldn't help but shivered when she heard this. She could hear the deep resentment that Wei Zifu was covered in calmness. Back then, when Wei Zifu was in the palace, the most difficult thing was when he was facing Guantao. Queen Chen was just a petite lady, and she didn't understand the common methods used in the harem. At most, she would just embarrass Wei Zifu. But the queen's mother, the eldest princess of the dynasty, grew up in the palace since she was a child. After getting married, she often came and went in the harem. She had never seen any methods before, so she used all her experiences over the years. If Wei Zifu hadn't been smart enough to take Guantao, the Queen Wei would have long known how many times she had died.

"Yiyi," Wei Zifu had an idea in the blink of an eye. She attracted Cui Yiyi to say a few words in her ear, and then said: "Remember to tell Mrs. Zhan to act quickly. Before tomorrow, I need to know the reply."

"Yes! Empress." Cui Yiyi nodded and responded. Secretary Zhan was an official of the Empress and Prince, so it was quite easy for Wei Zifu to contact this brother-in-law.

"Wait a minute, you have to be careful. Don't teach Shi Dada to know." Da Changqiu was originally an empress's official, and the queen should have appointed her confidant as her confidant. However, when Wei Zifu was appointed as the queen, the overall situation in the palace had been decided. Liu Che only allowed Wei Zifu's confidant Cui Yiyi to serve as Zhongchangqiu (i.e. Deputy Da Changqiu), so Wei Zifu felt like he was always restrained when he was in his actions. But she knew that this was Liu Che's original intention, so she did not dare to complain at all.

"I know. I just said that the Empress is worried about the safety of the sick young master, so she specially sent someone to come back to repay the safety." Cui Yiyi immediately understood Wei Zifu's concern and said immediately.

...

With the help of Liu Huichen, Chen Jiao left Changle Palace and walked towards the Zhaoyang Palace where she temporarily lived. On the way, Liu Huichen said, "Aunt, I just said that the eldest princess is waiting for you in Zhaoyang Palace."

Chen Jiao's heart moved and asked, "Why is she here?"

"I think I'm given the permission of the Queen Mother." Liu Huichen explained in a low voice, "However, my aunt's current situation is indeed very necessary to talk to the eldest princess."

Chen Jiao nodded silently and agreed to this sentence. In terms of empiricism and means, the mother in memory is much better than her. She is afraid that she really has to listen to what Guantao said in her current situation.

In the garden, Huo Qubing, Guo Sizhi and the three princesses were still there. Although Wei Zifu's departure once made a mess here, it soon returned to the excitement of Princess Zhuyi Liu Ying. When Princess Wei Liu Xin saw the group coming from the direction of Changle Palace from afar, he was shocked.

"Emperor..." Liu Xin almost screamed in shock. Finally, her cultivation has been quite good over the years. She swallowed the words behind her back, but her face turned pale so that no one could tell that something was wrong. Liu Yu and Liu Ying, who were younger than her, naturally did not recognize Chen Jiao. They just turned their eyes around between Liu Huichen and Chen Jiao, not understanding what these two women are and why the emperor's sister was so shocked. Even Huo Qubing looked at Chen Jiao suspiciously. Although he could not recognize that the person in front of him was the woman who played with him outside the city gate that day, he felt familiar inexplicably.

Liu Huichen is the newcomer who entered the palace for the first time. Chen Jiao has not been in the palace for many years. She didn't recognize the three people in front of her for a while, and the two people confronted each other. It was Princess Yangshi that Liu Yu broke the stalemate first and shouted: "Which palace are you from? Why don't you see the princess?" She grew up in the palace since she was a child. Although she was young, she still recognized the color and quality of the clothes. Although the two people were dressed in gorgeous clothes, they were not a lady beauty.

When Liu Yu mentioned the princess, Chen Jiao reacted. It turned out that the three people in front of him were all princesses of Wei Zifusheng. Her eyes were fixed on Liu Xin, who was pale-faced.

Yes, it's this child. I didn't expect to have grown up so old. The last time I saw her was when she was four years old, it was six years since then. At that time, she was still the queen, and Wei Zifu was still a singer who didn't even have a title. At that time, she was so spoiled that even if Wei Zifu had given birth to Liu Che's only princess, she still did not allow Liu Che to give her any title.

Thinking about it now, the banquet was probably arranged by Liu Che. At that time, he probably hoped that he could put down his figure and accept the mother and daughter, but unfortunately she did not. She allowed Yongxiang Order to arrange the mother and daughter in the ranks of the Yuefu, and let the palace people isolate her and laugh at her. So when Liu Che arrived, it was naturally inevitable that thunder was furious. It was after that time that Jiao officially moved out of Weiyang Palace and has been in the Ganquan Palace for many years. Wei Zifu began to enter the Jiaofang Palace a year after she left the palace. Although she did not have any title at that time, Liu Che showed everyone his importance with this action.

"Sister, why are your hands so cold?" Princess Yangshi Liu Yu felt something was wrong with her sister holding her hand, so she asked, "Is it a cold? I asked the palace maid to call the breast doctor."

"No, no need." Liu Xin shook his head quickly, denied his sister's proposal, and said, "I'm fine, very good." Although he said that, his body gradually leaned towards the direction where his sister was, obviously avoiding Chen Jiao. Such an obvious action made everyone present feel strange. Huo Qubing stared at Chen Jiao in confusion, always feeling that the two people in front of him looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where these two people came from.

Chen Jiao looked at her like this and turned her head and stopped putting pressure on her. Liu Xin would be afraid that she would be taken for granted. In the past, when Gillian was in the palace, she never gave her any good face. I believe that there are many eunuchs who secretly bullied Liu Xin in order to please Gillian. Chen Jiao turned to Liu Huichen and said, "Let's go."

However, as soon as she turned around, her steps stopped unconsciously, and a very familiar figure appeared in front of her.

Wei Zifu is no longer the ragged female slave in the past, nor is he the embarrassing harem who has no reputation in the past. At this time, she was wearing a unique queen's crown suit, straightening her body, blocking her way. Chen Jiao noticed that Wei Zifu's face was stunned, but this emotion was quickly smoothed out by her, and only the words of profound and unfathomable were left on her beautiful facial features. Seeing this scene, Chen Jiao suddenly thought in her mind that Wei Zifu and Liu Che really had a little bit of a husband-and-wife face at this time, and were both so good at concealing their feelings with expressionless expressions.

Seeing Wei Zifu arrive, the palace people led by Liu Xin and Huo Qubing saluted Wei Zifu one after another. After Liu Huichen hesitated for a moment, he also gave a bow. The only person in the whole garden who stood still without moving without any movement was Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao looked at Wei Zifu and smiled. Even though her status was now changed, the arrogance of Ah Jiao on her body still did not allow her to kneel down to this former rival in love.

Wei Zifu also looked at Chen Jiao at the same time, and a huge wave broke out in his heart. No wonder His Majesty hid her in Zhaoyang Palace, no wonder all the imperial doctors had to take their pulses through the obstacles, no wonder all the clothes were transported from the Tangyi Marquis' Mansion. It turned out that it was because of this, because of this. Wei Zifu almost bit his silver teeth under the calm surface. Just as the mask on Wei Zifu's face gradually showed a tendency to collapse, Yang Deyi's voice sounded.

"Cough cough." Yang Deyi deliberately coughed softly, and then said, "Your Majesty is here."

As soon as this said, Wei Zifu's stiff body took a step back and took the way aside. As soon as Wei Zifu made way, Chen Jiao saw Liu Che's figure appear in her sight. From that day on, she used words to squeeze him out, which made him angry and left. This was the first time they met. Chen Jiao looked at Liu Che in a daze, and suddenly couldn't react. However, Liu Che strided to her side, and reached out to take her into her arms. Her movements were naturally very skillful. Chen Jiao woke up from the trance and couldn't help but frown secretly, trying to refuse, but found that the pressure was very high.

Wei Zifu gritted his teeth secretly and leaned over and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Flat." Liu Che said lightly, then turned to Liu Xin and others and said, "Xin'er, elders are here, you are just here to greet the Empress."
To be continued...
