Concubine Ben Duojiao [Powerful Nation System]

Family banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet without outsiders.

Chao Cuo couldn't think of a reason why he could participate. He rubbed his aching forehead, looked at Chen Wu who was coming, and suddenly thought of someone.

This person, surnamed Dou Mingying, styled Wangsun.He is a relative of Empress Dowager Dou, and can barely be regarded as her nephew, but everyone knows that Empress Dowager Dou and Dou Changjun are good friends because of Huang Lao's technique. It is the art of Confucianism.That's all, except for his surname Dou, his words and deeds are the opposite of Queen Dowager Dou's.

Moreover, he once said privately: It is very inappropriate for Empress Dowager Dou to try to be a regent as a woman...

Chao Cuo made a decisive decision and immediately went to look for Dou Ying. Dou Ying seemed to be born different from other Dou family members: when he heard that Queen Dowager Dou asked Liu Qi to publicly announce the letter of inheriting the king of Liang, he was furious: "How can this be? Wouldn't it be a mess? Ancestral country law!"

Chao Cuo looked at him secretly, and seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, my surname is neither Liu nor Chen, nor Dou. How can I go to His Majesty's family banquet?"

Dou Ying had just passed his thirties at this time, and he couldn't compare to the old minister Chao Cuo. Hearing this, he said, "My surname is Dou. Unfortunately, I am a distant relative with the Queen Mother. Even though my surname is Dou, I still can't attend the banquet. Your Majesty—I would rather splatter three feet of blood, but try my best to prevent King Liang from becoming the crown prince!"

"The Empress Dowager is old and favors the King of Liang. In the whole country, the most fertile land is all under the rule of the King of Liang. More than forty cities have been sealed off, and a large number of daily gold and silk items are awarded to the King of Liang. The private treasury of the King of Liang is worth more than the national treasury. There is more than enough. Besides, His Majesty is only seven years older than King Liang, but now the Empress Dowager is forcing His Majesty to appoint King Liang as the crown prince, saying that after a hundred years, let King Liang take the throne, how partial is it!" Chao Cuo said heartbrokenly.

Dou Ying sighed: "Isn't the Queen Mother cursing Your Majesty?"

What he said was really too rebellious, although there were too many biases in the Empress Dowager Dou's decision to let the eldest son make the younger son the crown prince.

Chao Cuo didn't remind him, and continued to light the fire: "If death can save the country, why not let a man die? Wu fights to the death, and Wen dies to recommend. A man should be like this!"

Dou Ying repeatedly agreed: "No, I can't wait any longer, anyway, my surname is Dou, so what's the problem even if I force my way?"

He turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chao Cuo: "Wait a minute, you don't have to force your way in. This is my token, you take it!"

Holding the token, Dou Ying was extremely moved: "Chao Taichang, you..."

"It's also for the sake of the country, so why not die?" Chao Cuo said, "I'm not going because I'm afraid of arousing people's vigilance. If something goes wrong, the gain is not worth the loss. King Liang will still be the heir. Ah! If not, I will go by myself. The king and grandson must stop His Majesty..."

Tears welled up in Dou Ying's eyes: "How dare you disobey your orders? To protect the country, you can die!"

After bidding farewell to Dou Ying, Chao Cuo immediately ordered someone to go to the Han Palace to secretly report to Liu Qi.Everything is ready, not to mention.

----

In the front hall of Weiyang Palace, singing and dancing are peaceful, very happy.

Sitting on the top is Empress Dou, Chen Ajiao is sitting in the arms of Queen Dou holding a snow cat, sitting on the bottom right is Liu Qi, sitting on the bottom left are Liu Wu and Liu Xing, and the bottom is Empress Bo leading the team. Everyone was arranged according to the class and sat down one by one.And the princes sat around their biological mother, and then there were Dou Changjun Chen Wu and others. There were countless singers in the middle.

Dou Ying sat at the back with his head bowed. He was sweating profusely, and he didn't care about eating or listening to music. Holding the token of Chao Cuo in his sleeve, he kept cheering himself up.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Qi seemed to be a little tipsy, but he staggered up.

Chen Ajiao's heart trembled, and she hurriedly looked over.

She was also feeling uneasy, thinking about how to avoid it, but unexpectedly, when she looked around, she found a familiar yet unfamiliar person among the people who were eating and drinking sullenly.

Although this person is not as potbellied as later, his facial features are unmistakable - it is Dou Ying!

Although she didn't know what happened, Dou Ying still came.

Did he come here now to prevent Liu Qichu from making Liang Wang the crown prince?

Chen Ajiao did not dare to relax: until the dust settles on this matter, she needs to be vigilant and on guard.Moreover, no matter why Dou Ying came here, one thing is certain--Dou Ying is not allowed to take over!

Both Dou Changjun and Dou Shaojun had no intention of power, and it was this Dou Ying who really made outsiders think that the Dou family was the only one.That's all, the most important thing is that Dou Ying's elbow is always turned towards Liu Zhi.

Dou Ying's promotion path must be destroyed forever, so that it can be done once and for all.

It has to be said that the appearance of Dou Ying at this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for Chen Ajiao: she originally thought of going step by step, but now, with all kinds of things going on, how can she be orderly?How to wait gradually? !

Empress Dowager Dou was extremely sensitive to voices. Hearing her sigh, she hurriedly asked, "Jiaojiao? What happened? Why are you sighing?"

Chen Ajiao hurriedly said: "Auntie, I just saw how beautiful those singers are, and suddenly thought about what I should look like when I grow up."

"My Jiaojiao is naturally the best." Empress Dowager Dou sighed, "It's a pity that I was blind too early, and I have never seen what my Jiaojiao looks like. Sigh!"

"My mother said that I look like my aunt. If my aunt still remembers her previous appearance, she will know what I look like." Chen Ajiao comforted her, "How was my aunt when she was young? Tell me quickly, aunt My mother said that I look like my eldest mother."

Empress Dowager Dou paused for a while, as if recalling the past, the smile on her face became wider: "That's great."

The most beloved granddaughter, who looks similar to himself.For Queen Mother Dou, the childish words in Gillian's mouth at this time warmed her heart very much.

Liu Qi waved away the waiter's hand, swayed to the opposite side and grabbed King Liang's arm. The two brothers came to the middle, and the singing and dancing stopped quickly. Everyone was excited, and Liu Qi patted King Liang's arm. He said with a smile, "Ah Wu has grown up, and I am not very happy to be a brother. After being a brother for a hundred years, the throne will be passed on to Ah Wu."

The pottery bowl in Li Ji's hand fell to pieces with a bang.

With this sound, the originally happy atmosphere was gone.

Liu Xing's complexion changed suddenly, she hurriedly picked up the wine bottle, then drank to the extreme, and put on a smiling face.And the face of the person below changed even more.Wang Zhi's hands trembled, and he almost lost the grip.

Chen Ajiao looked down, and suddenly saw that Dou Ying got up...

Empress Dowager Dou smiled all over her face: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, what do you think?"

Liu Xun immediately laughed and said, "Aunt said..."

At this time, Dou Ying was holding a wine bottle, pretending to be drunk, and walked over staggeringly: "Your Majesty made a mistake, you should punish yourself with a glass of ear!"

For a moment, there was silence.

Liu Qi opened his eyes and looked at Dou Ying: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Exactly," Dou Ying said with a heartbroken voice, "Your Majesty made a mistake. Gaozu once promised that 'the world will be passed down from father to son'. Isn't it wrong that Your Majesty was drunk and said the words passed down from brother to brother? Since it is wrong, I should punish myself with a big glass of ears!"

"Ridiculous!" Before Liu Qi could speak, Empress Dowager Dou got angry first, "Who is your majesty? Talking so nonsense?"

Dou Ying leaned on her body and bowed down: "Queen Mother, I am Dou Shiying."

Dou Ying? !

Empress Dowager Dou thought: Isn't it her distant nephew?Since his surname is Dou, why did he come to demolish her?

With such a dazed effort, Dou Ying already quoted scriptures and said all kinds of things.He kept lecturing, and the first group of ministers couldn't sit still, and led by Dou Changjun, they all kowtowed and asked His Majesty to take back his previous orders.

Liu Qi seemed to be very embarrassed, Liu Wu was also very knowledgeable, so he kowtowed again and again, please don't mention this matter.

Empress Dowager Dou saw that the general situation was over, so she had to remain silent.Liu Qi took the opportunity to punish himself by drinking, and laughed it off.

But Dou Ying was still relentless: "Your Majesty has already passed the establishment, please also establish the crown prince as soon as possible, the country has been established!"

This is going to be pushed to the top!

Liu Xun's originally elated mood suddenly turned dark.She always felt that something unexpected was about to happen.Sure enough, Liu Qi pondered for a while, and finally decided to postpone the matter tomorrow after everyone pleaded for orders.

After this matter was over, the sound of singing and dancing sounded again, and everyone continued to exchange glasses, but the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere before could not come back no matter what...

Chen Ajiao sighed softly, said something to Empress Dowager Dou, and then led the maidservant out of the hall and went to a secluded place.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhi, who was a few days ago, also whispered to Wang Zhi, found an opportunity, and slipped out under the pretext of changing clothes...

----

When Chen Ajiao was holding the snow cat and was about to go back to the palace, she saw Liu Zhi in front of her.

Liu Zhi couldn't bear to wait more than she imagined. Standing there now, he seemed to understand that she would no longer come up and circle around him like before, so he walked over by himself: "Sister Gillian, it's been a long time No, you are more and more beautiful."

As Chen Ajiao continued walking, she said casually, "Oh, excuse me."

"Sister Gillian," Liu She took out a hairpin from his bosom, "I thought it would suit you well, so I asked my mother for it."

When Chen Ajiao heard that it belonged to Wang Zhi, she couldn't help but sneered: "It's very good, you can keep it."

"Sister Gillian," Liu She hurriedly followed suit, "I can't figure out what I did wrong, that you ignored me."

"You're not wrong, it's just that I've grown up," Chen Ajiao said with a smile, "You look at the palace, who did I woo? For you, it was because you were young or ignorant, and you followed a few steps more. big."

It's okay if she didn't say that, but when Liu Zhi said it, he felt uncomfortable: At first, he didn't think there was anything worth showing off about being entangled by Chen Ajiao, but now there is no more, and after listening to her explanation, he remembered in his heart: As expected, which ordinary prince has been taken care of by Chen Ajiao so carefully?But when he got it, he didn't think it was so precious, but now he lost it...

As if being robbed of his most beloved thing, Liu Zhi's grievance doubled for a moment: "I can't..."

Can't how?not grow up?

He couldn't go on, people, they will grow up.

But--

"Sister A-Jiao, I miss you very much because I can't see you these days." Liu She said, "Can I find Sister A-Jiao more in the future? Like before?"

"As you wish." Chen Ajiao didn't stop for a single step, she had already gone to the head of the hall with her maid, only two words were blown in the wind and spread to Liu Zhi's ears.

Liu Zhi clenched the hairpin in his hand: If at the beginning, he only wanted to ask Chen Ajiao for peace because of those two strategies, then now, he has another purpose - he wants to get back what he once got, which belongs to Ajiao. Jiao and his care and attention.
