Fu Wan muttered: "You can't say that. It's just the people of Xiangyang who want him to be emperor. Liu Xin himself didn't say anything, but these Xiangyang people are a little too courageous."
Fu Shou curled his lips slightly and said: "Dad, what you said is right to the point. Without Liu Xin's connivance, how could these common people dare to discuss the royal affairs so blatantly? I think he did it on purpose."
Liu Hua suddenly said: "Shou'er, you have met Liu Xin before. How do you think he compares to Liu Xie?"
Fu Shou felt that his mother's words were a bit confusing. He hesitated and said, "Liu Xie is only an eleven-year-old child, but Liu Xin is already over thirty years old. How do we compare these two?"
Ever since he was abandoned by Liu Xie on the chariot, Fu Shou became disheartened towards Liu Xie. He got angry with his youngest daughter and refused to call him emperor anymore. Instead, she called him by his first name. Liu Hua was most fond of his daughter.
He understood and knew that she would not behave like this if she was not extremely disappointed. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Shou'er, you were originally the queen of the Han Dynasty, and your mother respected the world. Now you have followed your parents to live here. In my heart,
Isn’t there any sadness at all?”
Fu Shou smiled sweetly and said: "Mom, now that I am no longer the queen, my child feels relaxed. Back then, my child and Liu Xie were sitting together in the main hall. Weren't they just two marionettes, at the mercy of others? Especially that one
The evil thief Dong Zhuo has a pair of lustful eyes
His eyes were always swiveling around the child's body, making him crawl all over. As soon as Dong Zhuo glared at him, Liu Xie would tremble with fear. The child estimated that if the old thief Dong said a word, Liu Xie would have to send the child away.
Go to the Grand Master's Mansion. It's okay not to be a queen like this."
Fu Wan praised: "My Shou'er is still ambitious. Huh, that Liu Xie, I was loyal to him in vain. When the crisis came, he abandoned Shou'er. Is this kind of person worthy of ruling the world? Bah!"
Liu Hua sighed: "It's not easy to talk about Liu Xie. How can you let such a young child influence the overall situation? Forget it, let's not mention him. Shou'er, do you think Liu Xin's character is better than those of the courtiers?
how?"
The character mentioned at that time did not refer to a person's character and virtue, but to a person's appearance. When Fu Shou was captured by Xu Huang and sent to Chang'an City, she had met Liu Xin once. She tilted her head and thought.
Thinking about it, he said: "Those big people in the court
When I saw Dong Zhuo, all ministers were submissive and did not dare to breathe. Even a few of the younger ones showed their age. Liu Xin was indeed a talented person with extraordinary prowess, but it was a pity that he was too ambitious and wanted to
Usurping the country of Han Dynasty."
Liu Hua shook his head and said: "Shou'er, you are wrong. Liu Xin is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a member of our Liu family. It is better to leave this great man's thousands of miles of land in his hands than to be taken away by those with other surnames."
Let’s go.”
Fu Wan asked in confusion: "Princess, why are you talking to Shou'er about this?"
Liu Hua glanced at Fu Shou and said calmly: "Our Shou'er is still young, and she will get married in the future. But no matter what, her identity is there. Just imagine who dares to marry a former empress of Han Dynasty.
?If Liu Xin really wants to be the emperor, then we will dedicate Shou'er to him. With the support of Princess Yang'an, he will be able to become emperor more smoothly, and Shou'er will be spared from being alone all his life."
Fu Shou's little face turned pale with fright, and he kept saying: "Mom, that Liu Xin is only a few years younger than my father. How can my child marry him?"
Fu Wan was also surprised by Liu Hua's bold idea and said: "When we were in Chang'an, Liu Xin once called me sister-in-law, and she called me very affectionately, which didn't seem like a lie. According to the genealogy records, Liu Xin is indeed you.
His brother, in terms of seniority, he should be Shou'er's uncle. How can there be any reason for a niece to marry her uncle!"
Liu Hua said disapprovingly: "What's the matter? Don't you know what happened to Queen Mother He and Concubine Tang? I heard that they were both raped by Liu Xin..."
Before she finished speaking, a servant from the mansion hurriedly came in and said: "Master and Madam, there are two people outside the door. They claim to be the old friends of Master and Madam. They have come to pay a visit. Please let me know."
Fu Wan was slightly surprised. Their family was placed here and their true identity was kept secret from the outside world. Apart from being recognized by Liu Xin's "concubine" today, they had never met any acquaintances. He couldn't help but ask:
"Do they have name tags?"
The servant lowered his head and said, "Sir, they are two women. They are unwilling to say their names. One of them is veiled, and the other is a young girl."
Liu Hua secretly thought, could this veiled person be the mysterious girl from the Prefecture Mufu that he saw in the afternoon, but who is this girl? Fu Shou had already said to the side: "Father, mother, you don't want to be here.
I have guessed it, please ask them to come in and take a look and you will know."
Fu Wan laughed and said: "Shou'er said, please come soon."
Liu Hua looked at the girl walking slowly in front of him. He seemed familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was the girl he passed by this morning.
The young girl gave Liu Hua a deep blessing, showed her face and said, "Tang Xian, a commoner girl, has met Her Highness the Princess."
The woman standing behind her stretched out her slender hand, gently lifted the veil covering her face, and said with a smile: "Princess, it's been a long time, do you still recognize He Lian?"
Fu Wan was shocked, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I have paid my respects to the Queen Mother after Fu Wan."
Only then did Liu Hua realize that the two people standing in front of her were the Empress Dowager He and Concubine Tang that she had just mentioned, and she hurriedly pulled Fu Shou to kneel down with them.
He Lian stepped forward, helped the three of them up, and said: "Your Highness, He Lian is just a commoner's wife now, she is no longer the queen mother. She came here today just to see her old friend, and for no other purpose. From now on, you and I will
Even if we are right next to each other, I won’t be polite to you anymore. Let’s sit down and talk slowly.”
This was the first time in several years that He Lian walked out of the house. Her two biggest enemies were eliminated by Liu Xin. He Lian's mood became cheerful. Today, when she heard Tang Xian talk about meeting the princess, she actually offered to marry her like never before.
Come and visit them.
Liu Hua had not recovered from the shock just now, and murmured: "Queen Mother, are you not..."
He Lian didn't take it seriously. She pulled up a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard that our mother-in-law was eaten after being insulted by Mr. Liu? Haha, you can believe these nonsense. Mr. Liu is a
Don’t you still know what kind of person he is? It’s those politicians who described him as a devil. If it’s true as they say, can the princess and her family still live at ease now?”
Liu Hua only said half of what he said just now, but He Lian continued. His face felt hot, and he said sarcastically: "Queen Mother, I am my concubine..."
He Liansu raised her hand and said: "You and I are close relatives. There is no need to call me Queen Mother in the future. I will call you sister, and you will call me brother and sister. We will get along with each other like ordinary people. Wouldn't it be better? Come on.
, let me introduce to you, this is Bian'er's daughter-in-law Tang Xian, I have accepted her as my goddaughter. Xian'er, you haven't met your aunt and uncle yet."
When it came to "differentiating children", He Lian's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she tried hard to hold back the tears. When Tang Xian saw this, she quickly agreed, walked up to Liu Hua, and knelt down deeply.
With a deep bow, he attracted their attention and helped He Lian cover up.
In Liu Hua's eyes, He Lian must be a ruthless woman since she poisoned Beauty Wang to death. But from ancient times to the present, there have been too many intrigues in the imperial family, and Liu Hua is not surprised. But Liu Hua
What he didn't expect was that He Lian actually recognized Tang Xian as his goddaughter. Liu Hua knew that Tang Xian's current situation was at odds with her daughter's.
The longevity is similar, even worse than Fushou. Originally, it was inconvenient for Tang Xian to remarry, but now He Lian recognizes her as his goddaughter. In the future, the world will be peaceful. No matter who becomes the emperor, it is inevitable to make her a princess.
Yes, that way, she can legitimately remarry. Thinking of this, Liu Hua couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Fu Shou.
Naturally, her movements could not hide from He Lian's eyes. He Lian pointed at Fu Shou with a smile and said: "Sister, this is your daughter, Liu Xie's queen. She is indeed pretty."
Fu Shou snorted coldly and said: "Who is his queen!"
Liu Hua felt a chill in her heart. She knew the grudge between He Lian and Wang Meiren, but Liu Xie was Wang Meiren's son, and her daughter was Liu Xie's queen. She didn't know what He Lian was in Xiangyang.
Regardless of your identity and how much power you have, you should not do anything detrimental to your daughter.
He Lian saw the change in the expression on Liu Hua's face and guessed what she was thinking. She sighed and said: "Sister, the past things are like clouds and smoke, let them all disperse. No matter what, Liu Xie belongs to the late emperor."
After all, flesh and blood, you have to call me mother. Mr. Liu has promised me that once I find Liu Xie, I will never hurt him, so you can rest assured."
Liu Hua will not care about Liu Xie's safety now. She even hopes that Liu Xie will die so that she can find a reason for her daughter to remarry. After hearing He Lian's words, she said disapprovingly: "Brother and sister, you are too naive. As it is now
The trend is that one day Liu Xin will ascend the throne and become the emperor. Will he be able to spare Liu Xie then? I can't believe he has such good intentions."
He Lian's face did not show the look of surprise that Liu Hua had imagined. She only slightly opened her red lips and said lightly: "What's wrong with Liu Xin becoming the emperor? It's better than being someone else's puppet like Liu Xie.
Sister, think about it, whether it is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, or Cao
Is there anything in the hands of Liu Xie that Liu Xie can decide? Although Liu Xie is now sitting in the position of emperor, if these people are unhappy one day, they will abolish him.
Speaking of the throne, I am afraid that my life will be in danger, just like my Bian'er... ugh..."
Speaking of sad things, He Lian finally couldn't hold back the tears.
After hearing He Lian's words, Liu Hua was surprised. With the identity of Queen Mother He Lian, if she also supports Liu Xin as emperor, I'm afraid the overall situation will be decided.
