The woman smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how old you are, in my eyes, you are still the naughty ghost with a long nose."

Da Qiao looked at the woman and said: "Yu'er, don't educate your brother as soon as you come back, come back all the way, my palace is quite lively today."

Cao Yu bowed to Da Qiao and said, "My daughter has been away for a year, and Mother is worried about her."

Da Qiao smiled and said: "My daughter is grown up, and I, as a mother, can't control you anymore. Tell me, is the other side of the sea really what your father said?"

A gleam of light suddenly appeared in Cao Yu's eyes.

As the eldest daughter of Cao Anmin and the eldest princess of the Qi State, she has a prominent status and outstanding talents, but she likes hunting the world wholeheartedly.

Cao Anmin doted on her, and naturally responded to her requests.He personally formed a fleet for her, and selected nearly [-] elite sailors.

Since Cao Yu became an adult, she spends most of the time floating on the sea every year, traveling around the world according to the world map written by Cao Anmin herself.

Although Qi State has a huge territory, it still occupies the Asian region after all.

The rest, the regions of Africa, Europe, America and Oceania, are still unkinged lands.

When she came back this time, firstly, Cao Yu's fleet needed supplies, and secondly, she heard the wind, so she hurried back.

"The world is so big that we can't reach it. Even though my daughter has been away for so many years, she can barely take a small part of this world."

Cao Shou was also very interested in sailing. Hearing what his sister said, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, tell me and my concubine quickly."

Chapter 1060 Extra Story 26, Queen's Invitation Banquet

While Cao Yu, mother and son were chatting happily, outside the hall, Zhongchang Attendant Yang An suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty, the empress is hosting a banquet in Zhiluo Palace, and she wants to entertain your empress and the eldest princess, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

Da Qiao glanced at Yang An coldly, put his hand on his chin, and said lightly: "Such a trivial matter needs to be run by the servant in person. The empress seems to be really busy with state affairs and has no time to get away!"

Yang An replied softly: "All the big and small state affairs are on the Empress alone. Naturally, she is exhausted. Hearing that the Eldest Princess has returned from overseas, I took the time to hold a banquet. I also hope that the Empress and the two Highnesses will attend the appointment."

Da Qiao frowned slightly, and Cao Shou on the side also said sarcastically, "Your Majesty Yang is so powerful! You just hugged the empress's lap just now, why are you going to play wild in my mother's palace?"

Yang An bent slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are joking. The empress is the mother of a country. I am a minister in the harem, so I should serve your empress. I also hope that your empress will not embarrass the villain."

Cao Yu said with a smile on the side: "I have been away for a long time because I miss my aunt. Now that my aunt is hosting a banquet, mother, let's go early to prevent the food from getting cold."

Da Qiao nodded slightly, looked at Yang An and said, "Okay, Master Yang, please go back and tell the Empress that I will be there on time for the banquet."

Yang An hurriedly retreated.

Da Qiao looked at her two sons and daughters, and sighed helplessly.

Cao Yu glanced at his mother, then at his younger brother, leaning against his mother's side and said, "Father is going on an expedition, mother, why don't you go out to sea with me to relax?"

Cao Shou hesitated.

For him, his mother is a great help in seizing the heir. If he went out to sea with his sister, he might be in a disadvantaged situation.But he is extremely filial, and he also knows that his mother's situation in the palace must be difficult. As a son of man, he can't help his mother out of trouble, which is really unfilial.

Da Qiao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Mother is old, and I really can't bear the hardships of traveling and traveling. I'm afraid I can't go out with you. Besides, my mother is a concubine. I have orders from Daqi, and concubines can't leave the house without authorization." Palace, without your father's will, mother can't step out of this palace."

Cao Shou murmured with some dissatisfaction: "Father is true, why did you make such a rule? Isn't it like going to jail and trapping mother in the palace?"

Da Qiao sighed, his face full of helplessness.

Cao Yu on the side guessed something, looked at Da Qiao and said calmly: "I think the emperor's move is to sever the connection between the concubine and the ministers on purpose."

They all know the current situation, the prince hysteria, the emperor's expedition, and the huge imperial throne hanging in the air. For any prince, that supreme position is beckoning to them.

If he can climb to the top at this critical moment, he will become the master of this huge empire in the future.

"Okay, the queen mother doesn't like to go out, as long as you two live well, mother will be very happy." Da Qiao's face is full of love.

The intrigue in the inner palace really exhausted her.Especially as the children in the palace grow up one by one, struggle is inevitable.

Right now, she only wants her two children to be safe and sound. As for the so-called great cause of imperial power, she can fight for it if she can, and don't force her too much if she can't.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Da Qiao went to change clothes in the harem first, while Cao Yu and Cao Shou waited in the front hall.The two siblings get along alone, and when they talk, they naturally don't have too many constraints.

Although Cao Yu is a woman, she likes politics very much.Cao Anmin seemed to do it on purpose, and he didn't object to her meddling in government affairs at all. He even took the initiative to ask a famous teacher to teach her to increase her knowledge and ability.

Now that he returned from the expedition, he wanted to help his younger brother win that supreme position.

"How sure are you about the situation? Did the Xie family say anything?"

Naturally, Cao Shou knew that he couldn't hide it from his sister, so he said without any concealment: "Right now, the third and fifth are secretly contacting the ministers, and I heard that they have already won the support of many people."

"Cao Yong and Cao Tai are originally from the Jizhou lineage. If they fight together, it will be difficult to deal with them. But if they fight for their own interests, if this continues, I am afraid that they will not really pose any threat."

"However, until now, the Xie family has not expressed anything. My father-in-law doesn't seem to care about this matter. It's not easy for me to point it out directly, so I'm not even half-prepared until now."

"Prepare? Prepare for what, you just need to remember that the father is still in power, and the world of Daqi will always be his. Besides, the father is an emperor through the ages, and if he wants to play tricks under his nose, he will suffer in the end You will always be yourself. Remember what the old lady said, don’t take any action. Maybe at this time, Jin Yiwei’s eyes are fixed on the entire capital. Whoever is more active is likely to die sooner. .”

Cao Shou was a little skeptical, looked at his sister and said, "It shouldn't be, most of Jin Yiwei's strength has been transferred to the Western Front."

Cao Yu slapped Cao Shou on the forehead, and said with a slap in the face, "You are so old, don't you have any knowledge at all! Jin Yiwei was built by the emperor himself. How can you judge your strength without authorization. Maybe there are Jin Yiwei's spies by your side. Remember, don't take it lightly."

Cao Shou stroked his head, and said helplessly, "Old sister, I'm already this old, can I stop my head?"

When Cao Yu saw Cao Shou say this, he slapped him again.

"I'm your elder sister, so I can't hit you anymore. As long as you do something wrong, you should hit me. Don't say you are 20 years old, even if you are 30 or 40 years old, if you make a mistake, I will still hit you. "

Cao Shou had no choice but to let his sister.

Cao Yu got angry, his eyes fell outside the hall, and he said softly: "The situation in this palace is not optimistic. When you meet the queen, remember to keep your words down, understand?"

"Don't worry, old lady. I know it well. If the empress doesn't ask anything, I will never open my mouth to say a word."

Cao Yu shook her head again and said, "No, say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't. The queen is here to test us, if you don't say anything, it's not a posture of going against her. If this is the case, it is not good for us. The best way for the coir raincoat is for us to chat with her about the family affairs, other than that, don't say anything, don't ask anything. If it involves the prince, we won't be able to explain clearly, understand?"

"Got it, don't worry!"
