The palace where Tang Ji lives is just a corner of the palace.

However, this corner alone is much bigger than the house Cao Shuo in the city.

Cai'er accompanied Cao Shu into the palace, and two palace maids followed behind and walked forward along the bluestone path.

After passing by some pavilions and towers, Cai'er did not stop.

Cao Shu asked, "Can Empress Tang live in the innermost?"

"I have been wandering for years and have been bullied a lot." Cai'er said: "The queen thinks it's safer to live in the innermost place."

Cao Shu didn't ask any more questions.

After these years, it is reasonable that Tang Ji has become cautious.

After walking along the bluestone road for half a stick of incense, Cao Shu heard a leisurely sound of piano coming from the front.

"Empress Tang is playing the piano?" Cao Shuo asked Cai'er.

"That's right." Cai'er said: "Before leaving Hongnong, the queen had to stroke a song every day."

"It sounds so sad." Cao Shuo asked, "What kind of song is she stroking?"

"When the late emperor was poisoned by Li Ru, the queen sang and danced a song for the late emperor." Cai'er said: "This song is adapted from that song and dance."

"No wonder there is sadness in the melody." Cao Shuo said: "Life and death are separated, life is a tragedy. I really don't know how Queen Tang endured it back then."

Cai'er sighed softly and said nothing.

The two of them came to the attic and Cai'er said to Cao Shu: "Young master wait, I'll go up and report to the queen."

She was about to enter the attic and a palace maid came out from it.

The palace maid bowed and said, "The princess asked Mr. Cao to come forward and talk."

"It seems I don't need to report it." Cai'er showed a sweet smile to Cao Shu: "Please, please."

The sound of the piano came from the upper floor, and Cao Shu entered the attic and walked up the stairs.

Cai'er followed closely behind him.

Up to the top, Cao Shu followed the sound of the piano to find Tang Ji.

Tang Ji sat on the corridor on the top floor, with two palace maids standing behind her, while she focused on stroking Yaoqin.

Cai'er was about to come forward to report, but Cao Shu stopped her: "I feel very uncomfortable if I haven't finished playing a song!"

After looking at Cao Shu, Cai'er said nothing.

Tang Ji didn't look up, and she didn't look at Cao Shuo and smiled sweetly: "Young Master is here?"

Cao Shu bowed and saluted: "My minister Cao Shu, I have met the Queen Mother!"

"Empress Dowager?" Tang Ji was stunned: "When did I become the Empress Dowager?"

"On the way here just now, Your Majesty asked me to come over." Cao Shuo said: "It was Your Majesty who asked me to change my words, but I dare not refuse to change!"

"You all go down." Tang Ji waved her hand.

Cai'er took the palace maid downstairs, and only Tang Ji and Cao Shu were left in the corridor.

Tang Ji stood up, looked into the distance and asked, "Young Master is in a better mood?"

"The Queen Mother is so worried about it, it's much better." Cao Shu asked, "I wonder if the Queen Mother asked me to come over, what's the point of giving me?"

"How could I give any orders? I just thank the young master." Tang Ji said: "The late emperor died at the hands of a rebellious minister, but he only got the title of King Hongnong. Whenever I think of this, my heart is as stolen..."

"The late emperor has passed away for many years, and the empress dowager can still worry about it so much. It really emphasizes love and friendship." Cao Shu said: "If my wife can treat the late emperor like the empress dowager, I will die with peace of mind!"

"Young Master said nonsense again!" Tang Ji quickly complained: "Are these words said casually?"

"I'm just grateful for the Queen Mother's affection for the late emperor." Cao Shuo said, "I'm just feeling it for a moment."

"Your Majesty really wants the young master to change his words?" Tang Ji asked Cao Shuo.

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "Your Majesty also mentioned that you should hold the rituals for the late emperor..."

"Will the young master go then?" Tang Ji asked.

"I'm afraid I can't go." Cao Shu said: "Your Majesty will be in charge of the ceremony, and my father will definitely be with you. Generals such as Xu Chu, Cao Chun are responsible for the inner siege. I must be sent by my father to the outer siege to beware of any thieves taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

"Xu Du still has thieves?" Tang Ji asked.

"Don't the Empress Dowager know why I killed someone outside Xudu City?" Cao Shuo did not answer, but asked Tang Ji.

"For Miss Qingchen." Tang Ji said: "I just don't quite understand why the young master had to take the person out of Xudu City to kill him."

"Deterrence!" Cao Shu said: "Although Xu Du seems to be in the hands of the Cao family, there are many forces in secret. Each force wants to replace the Cao family and use the emperor to command the world."

"Didn't the Cao family?" Tang Ji said: "When I was in Hongnong, I heard that Cao was holding the emperor to order the princes..."

"The Queen Mother felt that the rumors were true and false?" Cao Shuo asked.

Tang Ji showed a sweet smile: "I don't think there is a single point!"

When he married Liu Bian, Tang Ji was only twelve years old.

Liu Bian died for nearly eight years, and she was only twenty years old.

Although she was over, she had a bit more unique charm than a teenage girl, showing a stunning smile. Even Cao Shu almost couldn't control himself and teased him a few words.

After all, Tang Ji was once the queen of the Han Dynasty. This time she arrived in Xudu, she would become the queen mother of the Han Dynasty again.

No matter how brave Cao Shu is, he will not tease her.

Although he didn't plan to tease her, Cao Shu's eyes were frozen for a moment when he looked at her.

"What are you doing when you look at me like this?" His eyes were just a little frozen, but Tang Ji was caught by him.

"I am just amazed at the fact that there are such beautiful people in the world." Cao Shuo lowered his head and said, "The Empress Dowager is so beautiful, I am so arrogant!"

"Cao Zirong, you are really brave." Tang Ji said: "Even I dares to tease me."

"I dare not!" Cao Shuo quickly denied.

"When I looked at me, my eyes were full of lewdness." Tang Ji said: "I have seen you so much before!"

"How would the Empress Dowager deal with this kind of look before?" Cao Shuo asked.

As if Cao Shuo's eyes had returned to clearness, Tang Ji said: "In the past, those people would not quickly restrain the lust in their eyes like the young master. What else can I do besides retreating?"

"If I didn't put it away, what would happen to the Empress Dowager?" Cao Shu asked again.

Looking at Cao Shu, Tang Ji said, "I don't know. Xu is in the hands of the Cao family. Not to mention that His Majesty dares to treat the young master now, even if he dares, he will not stand up for me."

"Don't worry, when you come to Xudu, I will protect you." Cao Shuo said: "No matter who dares to be rude to the Empress Dowager, I will send troops to destroy him!"

"If it was Cao Gong who was rude to me..." Tang Ji swallowed it back halfway.

"Father doesn't!" Cao Shu said: "Although my father's back house is huge and he often provokes women outside, he is not the kind of person the queen mother thinks. The way of the king and the subject, the way of father and son, the way of the father and son, the father never goes beyond the line!"

"I have asked someone to prepare the food and drinks. Why don't you stay here tonight?" Tang Ji asked suddenly.
