Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

There were people coming and going in the noisy tavern. On the high platform in the middle, there were several hot girls with curly hair, blue eyes and sexy bodies dancing barefoot. Their movements were strong and powerful, gentle yet strong. The golden bells on their ankles made bursts of crisp and pleasant sounds.

When Liang Qian saw Hu Ji for the first time, she couldn't help but marvel at her.

Xiao Qianyi saw it and smiled: "When I first came here, I was also as surprised as you, but now, I have seen it so many times that I am used to it.

Without waiting for the dishes to be served, he picked up the wine jug and filled two glasses with wine, one for Liang Qian and one for himself.

She raised her wine glass and said mysteriously: "I know a good place. I'll take you there later."

"What good place?" Liang Qian's eyes lit up, and then she turned her gaze away from Hu Ji.

Xiao Qianyi raised her eyebrows: "Well, you'll know next time! But, can you still come out next time?"

She stopped smiling, frowned and said seriously, "Why is it so difficult to see you since you moved into the palace? Those who know it think that the master loves you and protects you, while those who don't think that you have been banished to the cold palace!

I originally thought that without this fabricated Princess Qi, the position of Queen would be yours, but you have been in Luoan for so long, how come you don't have any position? I really don't know what you are thinking? Are you still worried about your previous identity?

If that's the case, then you're worrying too much. Let alone others, look at the always conservative Lord Gongsun. Even though he knew you were in the palace, he didn't say anything. Not to mention my father and brothers. From what I've seen, they all know that the current master is not the previous emperor!"

The more she thought of their humiliated looks, the funnier it became, but she laughed so hard that she had to put on a stern face.

"Through this incident, I understand a truth."

"What's the reason?" Liang Qian leaned back slightly at the overly bright and determined eyes.

Xiao Qianyi met her eyes and said seriously: "If you want to have the right to speak, you need strong strength to back you up! Opening a government office is my first step!"

However, the man whose eyes were shining the moment before seemed deflated the next moment.

She slumped her shoulders, feeling very depressed. "But now I can't even take the first step. You don't know, the day before yesterday, I just hinted that I wanted to open a mansion, but who would have thought that those stubborn old men would jump up and down like someone had dug up their ancestral graves, opposing and accusing me. Alas, what does it mean to be isolated and helpless? I am like that now! Who else can I go to complain to except you? But you - ah, everything is really not going well for me!"

Xiao Qianyi drank alone with a sad face, feeling extremely melancholy.

Liang Qian knew what was going on.

Although she rarely appeared in public, she knew everything about the previous dynasty and the harem.

"There is no precedent for a woman to open a government office. If you really want to do this, you must take it step by step."

Xiao Qianyi put down her wine glass with a snap. "Hmph, stop trying to fool me with empty words and support me with some actions! Don't forget, we agreed in Yuezhou to be together, you have to keep your word!"

Liang Qian laughed and shook her head: "This is not just empty talk, it takes an opportunity to make it happen."

"Then tell me where the opportunity lies?" Xiao Qianyi gritted her teeth and drank one cup after another.

Liang Qian was helpless: "Eat something first and then drink!"

Xiao Qianyi snorted coldly: "Eat? How can I be in the mood to eat?"

Liang Qian thought about it carefully and was about to speak when she heard laughter coming from the seats next to her that were separated by a screen. There were both men and women, and there were quite a lot of people.

The two of them kept silent in tacit understanding and looked at each other.

Xiao Qianyi clenched the wine glass in her hand and listened carefully.

Liang Qian asked in a low voice: "Do you know him?"

Xiao Qianyi nodded.

The men had drunk a lot of alcohol and were talking with slurred tongues.

If she hadn't been mentioned, Liang Qian would never have noticed.

A woman at the table was curious and asked in a sweet voice about Queen Liang of Qi.

The more Xiao Qianyi listened, the more the corners of her mouth curved.

The more Liang Qian listened, the tighter her brows furrowed.

No one knows since when, Liang became known as a lovelorn woman who was deeply in love with the emperor, loyal to him and willing to sacrifice herself for the enemy in order to accomplish the emperor's great cause.

Unfortunately, the State of Qi was destroyed and the Liang family was forgotten by the emperor.

In the end, the person the emperor truly cared about and respected was his first wife, Empress Xiao.

Thinking about it this way, Liang is quite pitiful.

Thinking back to when she was in Qi, Liang was the most favored concubine in the palace. Compared to now, she is sitting in the cold palace, which is a world of difference! I am afraid that she cries every day, and I don’t know how depressed and regretful she is...

Liang Qian's eyes widened, the corners of her mouth twitching: "I didn't know I was living such a miserable life."

Xiao Qianyi almost laughed to death.

Liang Qian rolled her eyes at her and said, "Who said that if I hear someone slandering me again, I will slap him in the face? What are you laughing at now? Go now!"

Xiao Qianyi propped up her head and smiled: "They are not slandering you, they are pitying you and sympathizing with you!"

Liang Qian couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at Xiao Qianyi with suspicion: "Are you trying to let me hear it on purpose?"

"How could that be? No, no! Absolutely not!" Xiao Qianyi put down her wine glass and waved her hands hurriedly.

"No?" Liang Qian glanced at her, and her fingertips just touched the cup, not wanting to be picked up by others first.

She looked over and saw Yuwen Jue's face was gloomy: "You still want to drink?"

Liang Qian wanted to explain, but Yuwen Jue had already looked at the person opposite him: "General Xiao, I remember that you are going to Jinti Ridge with Wang Tingyue tomorrow, right?"

"Oh, oh, yes, I was just about to go back."

Xiao Qianyi stood up awkwardly, laughed dryly twice, and gave Liang Qian a look secretly, then bowed to Yuwen Jue: "Your Excellency, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he ran away without looking back and soon disappeared.

Liang Qian was thinking about one thing: "Why didn't I know that Wang Tingyue was going to Jinti Ridge?"

The tavern was filled with all kinds of people. Yuwen Jue frowned and looked around, then glanced at the wine glass in his hand.

"I actually want to ask, did you give me a chance? You drugged me and made me unconscious, just so you could run out and drink?"

Liang Qian smiled awkwardly, took the wine glass from his hand, and threw it aside: "No, I didn't drink a sip. I came out just to talk to her... If I had known that she called me here to drink, I would never have agreed!"

Her eyes were wide open and she spoke with great conviction.

Then, he looked around again, pointed at the people at the next table, and lowered his voice: "Let's go back. It would be bad if we were recognized."

After saying that, he dropped a bag of money and dragged Yuwen Jue out of the tavern without caring about his reaction.

In the carriage, seeing that Yuwen Jue still had a gloomy face, Liang Qian sat down beside him.

"The incense burner is not filled with drugs, but is specially prepared to help you sleep and relax. Since returning to Luoan, there have been many things that need you to deal with. It's ok during the day, but you can't sleep well even at night."

Yuwen Jue's expression eased slightly, he glanced at the person who spoke softly, and sighed slightly: "I didn't mean to restrict you from coming in and out, it's just that your body——"

"I know you're afraid I'll be like last time, but don't worry, I'm a doctor and I know what's going on."

He had heavy official duties during the day and had to take care of himself at night. Sometimes, when he went to bed at night, he would just toss and turn a few times and he would immediately ask if he was feeling unwell.

Yuwen Jue was silent for a moment, then took Liang Qian's hand and said, "We must be more careful this time."

Ever since he knew she was pregnant, he was only happy for a moment, and from then on, he was worried.

He didn't understand how women could have children, and he had never paid any attention to it.

Even when Xier was brought to him back then, she was already a soft baby.

He didn't know how the child appeared little by little, nor did he know what the woman had to go through from beginning to end.

All he knew was that after seeing her bleeding and dying in Lianzhou City, a woman's pregnancy was no longer something he could take lightly.

Yuwen Jue looked at the person who was blinking and staring at him, rubbed her hair, and sighed: "From now on, if you want to go somewhere or do something, just let me accompany you."

Liang Qian felt sad and reached out to hug Yuwen Jue: "I'm sorry, I made you worry again."

Yuwen Jue patted her on the back: "It's good that you know."

Then he said, "It doesn't matter if there is no one. Since we have one... after we give birth to him, we won't need him anymore."

Liang Qian was slightly stunned, and raised her head in surprise, a little uncertain: "Aren't you afraid that you are still a——"

It would have been fine when he was the Grand Marshal and the King of Qi, but now he is the emperor.

Emperors have always had countless beauties, not only to satisfy their own desires, but also to expand their family and inherit the throne.

But he didn't care.

Yuwen Jue smiled calmly, lowered his head and stroked her face: "Our daughter will certainly be good, but if she is really incapable of doing the job, even if I intend to pass the throne to her, she will not be able to keep it. By then, not to mention that her life will be in jeopardy, the court and the world will also be in turmoil.

Furthermore, having children is a matter of fate, so why should you suffer the pain of childbirth just for this uncertainty?

I've thought about it. Even if our children are not suitable, there is no need to worry. There are many children in the royal family. Yuwen Yun alone has several children. With so many people, there will always be one or two who can become talented. We can just pick one who is virtuous and upright at that time."

He held her hand, his tone gentle, but his attitude very firm: "I never married to continue the family line, it has been like this before, and it will be like this in the future. So, please rest assured, I will never marry someone else to have a child just to have a successor to the throne."

She stared at Yuwen Jue in a daze, the shock in her heart was beyond words, and she didn't even realize that her eyes were wet.

He is always so considerate and always understands her so well.

Yuwen Jue smiled and reached out to help Liang Qian wipe the corners of her eyes: "By the way, just now in the tavern, why did I hear something wrong with what those people next door said?"

Liang Qian said with a thick nasal tone: "What are you talking about?"

Yuwen Jue frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied: "It seems like you are talking about a foolish woman and a heartless man?"

Liang Qian burst into laughter and said, "You heard wrong. It's clearly a foolish man and a heartless woman."

Yuwen Jue snorted: "It's good that you know."

A soft kiss fell on her eyelids.

In October of the second year of Yuanhe, the Turks invaded, raided and plundered the areas of Yangjiaogang and Jintiling in the north, captured Qianju, Liyu and Anjun, massacred a total of 4,493 civilians, and abducted 326 women.

Upon hearing this, the King of Zhou sent six generals including Sima Bo, Gongxi Jin, and Wang Tingyue to lead an army of 200,000 to fight against the Turks.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

Three months into the war, the Turks were hit by a snowstorm and suffered heavy losses.

Half a month later, the Turkic people split into two due to internal power struggles among several factions.

After four months, the Zhou army forced the Turks back to Suohe and successfully recovered Jintiling and other places.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Turkic region, the King of Zhou ordered the construction of defensive fortifications in the north and built a city in a strategic location on the edge of the border. The city was built seven times in three years.

The people were free from harassment by the Turks.

*

In May of the seventh year of Yuanhe, the State of Chen had a local war with the State of Liang over the ownership of Lancheng on the border.

The State of Chen was isolated and weak, so it took the initiative to submit to the Zhou Dynasty and seek protection.

To show his sincerity, the King of Chen came to Luoan in person to present treasures and beautiful women to Lord Zhou.

Unexpectedly, the King of Zhou detained the King of Chen, sent troops to Dongling City, and abolished the Chen regime.
