Concubine Ben Duojiao [Powerful Nation System]

The next day, Empress Dowager Dou sent a letter asking Liu Xing to take Gillian into the palace immediately.

The storm was violent last night, Empress Dowager Dou was worried that her precious granddaughter would be frightened, and after waking up in the middle of the night, she did not fall asleep all night.

She had three children in her life: Liu Piao, the princess of Guantao, Liu Qi, the current majesty, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

Now that the youngest son Liu Wu is not around, and Liu Qi is the emperor, the only one who can relieve the loneliness in his heart is Liu Xun.Empress Dowager Dou, the child of Liu whoring, loves the house and loves Wu, and it hurts her heart. As a woman, Chen Ajiao is cute and smart, so she is naturally more favored by Empress Dou.

Liu Xingqin and Gillian chose clothes and combed their hair. They didn't even use the court food. They only talked to Chen Wu, the son-in-law, and met Chen Xu and Chen Yu's two sons. Fang took Gillian into the carriage and hurried to the Han Palace. go.

Chen Yu was three years older than Gillian, and he and his elder brother Chen Xu were both at school age, so it was inconvenient for them to enter the palace together.

It was winter at this time, and thunderstorms in winter were unusual.What is even more unusual is that there is a faint fragrance of peach blossoms coming from the roadside.Liu Xun yelled in amazement, and hurriedly asked what had happened, and then heard the driver say, "Princess, the peaches and plums on both sides of the road are blooming!"

Before Liu Xing could respond, Chen Ajiao rushed over and pushed open the door of the carriage. She poked her head in and saw that it was indeed pink and white, and the pattern was really pretty.But her heart sank suddenly: "It's different, it's different!"

In her memory, when she was six years old, where did this winter peach and plum bloom all over?

However, at this moment, Chen Ajiao felt an inexplicable joy in her heart: "It's different!"Everything is different, which is great! '

Although the unknown is scary, the unknown is a little more novel.Starting over from the beginning, although there are no tricks to do, it also means starting anew completely.

"There must be evil in things that are abnormal," Liu Xun hurriedly pulled Gillian back. She glanced at the peach and plum trees in the road, frowned, and closed the carriage door again with a 'crash', "Mo Liu, hurry up Go to the Han Palace, hurry up!"

"No!" The driver replied, and hastily raised his whip to draw the horse's buttocks.

"Jiaojiao," in order to prevent the carriage from speeding up and jolting A-Jiao, Liu Xing hugged her even tighter, and she whispered softly in A-Jiao's ear, "Don't mention the peach and plum blossoms when you see the aunt, remember , remember. You have to pretend you don’t know it, and don’t mention it to anyone. When someone asks you, you have to say that you are sleeping soundly in the carriage, and you don’t know anything outside. Do you understand?”

Chen Ajiao felt a wave of emotion in her heart: Actually, Grandma understands everything.

However, she knew better that her mother hoped that she could become the empress. On the one hand, her mother believed that only that position in the world was worthy of her; on the other hand, her mother loved her, but she also loved the future of the family.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Liu Xun asked again: "I don't know anything, don't mention anything, can Jiaojiao respond?"

"No." She finally agreed.

----

Empress Dowager Dou finally noticed today's anomaly.

Since she lost her sight, her hearing has been much sharper than that of ordinary people, and the same is true for her smell.This peach and plum tree in the Han Palace was not uncommon. She could smell the fragrance of flowers all the way from her bedroom to the front hall of Changle Palace.

But, she didn't say much.She has been in this deep palace for a long time, she knows what to say and what not to say.

Sitting upright in the front hall, after feeding, it takes about two cups of tea.Empress Bo came to greet her with a group of concubines.There was a rare thunderstorm yesterday, and all the trees and plums were in bloom this morning.This abnormal scene naturally caused the people in the Han Palace to be extremely uneasy.

It's just that everyone only talks about thunderstorms and doesn't mention flowers blooming.As if waiting for someone to pierce the superficial calm.

Empress Dowager Dou listened to the eldest son's concubines greeting each other with a smile on her face.All kinds of jokes below were amused, she only smiled and occasionally responded with a word or two.

After a while, Xiao Huangmen came in to report: "Queen Mother, Princess Guantao and the Lord of Tangyi are asking to see you."

"Please come in quickly!" The flat smile on Empress Dowager Dou's face finally changed, she was a little anxious, "Please come in quickly! Hurry up!"

"No!" said the little yellow door, and stepped back.

As for Empress Dowager Dou, she couldn't sit still any longer. She tilted her head slightly and listened carefully—after a while, she heard Luo Lu's voice enter, and she said with a smile on her face, "Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao is here!"

When Chen Ajiao entered the hall, she saw the extremely docile Wang Yan among the concubines kneeling in the hall.She sneered inwardly, and when she was about to examine the beauty's skin carefully, she heard Empress Dowager Dou's call.

look up.Then I saw the old woman kneeling above stretching out her hand to her, as if groping for her position.

The heart is warm: the eldest mother, like the grandmother, also values ​​the continuation of the family, so she wants to promise her to the next emperor.But, no matter what, the heart that loves her has always been true.So they carefully selected Liu Zhi who seemed to love her forever...

"Mother!" Chen Ajiao tried her best to recall the actions of the six-year-old child, and rushed forward, but the momentum was a bit too strong, and she actually led Empress Dowager Dou to lean back a little.Empress Dowager Dou's maid hurriedly supported Empress Dowager Dou from behind, preventing her from leaning back.

"This child is reckless all day long. Don't blame my mother." Liu Xun said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Dou groped and patted Chen Ajiao's back lightly, "She just kissed me and missed me. I'm too happy."

She 'looked' at Gillian in her arms again: "Jiaojiao, how big was the thunderstorm last night? Were you scared?"

"No," Chen Ajiao raised her head and looked at her, tears falling down a little bit uncontrollably: "Auntie came in time, I wasn't scared, nothing happened."

"It's like a grandmother!" Empress Dowager Dou snorted, "If she dares not go in time, I will beat her severely. Your grandmother was also afraid of the sound of thunder when she was young. When I heard the wind and rain, I would go Accompany her by her side, just for fear of being frightened. Daughters are inherently more precious than men, if she doesn't sleep to death and scare you, the eldest mother will never let her go!"

"Big Mom," Chen Ajiao called out as she nestled in her arms, "Big Mom is the best."

Empress Dowager Dou became proud when she heard the words: "Auntie's Jiaojiao is also the best."

This is not the first time that this interaction has been seen by everyone in Changle Palace.But, no matter how many times you do it, these concubines can't help tearing their scarves with hatred.There is no other reason, this Empress Dowager Dou is the most difficult person to please, no matter what she says, she will at most smile at you and say 'en' and 'ah' and it will be fine, it is extremely difficult for others to say goodbye to her.

But the Lord Weng of this Tangyi has been the heart and soul of Empress Dowager Dou since he was born, the treasure in his palm.There seems to be nothing wrong with it.In the eyes of Empress Dowager Dou, those of them who painstakingly try to curry favor with her are no match for a single strand of a hair of the lord.Who can stand such an extreme imbalance?

Although Chen Ajiao was nestled in the arms of Empress Dowager Dou, from the corner of her eyes, she was appreciating the appearance of these sentient beings.

Among this group of women, the only one who didn't grieve her teeth was the empress Bo with the upper right head -- her eyes were full of envy.Chen Ajiao's heart froze: That's right, what Empress Bo wants most is a child.It's a pity that she had no children in her last life, but maybe this life will be different?

When he was thinking wildly, he heard a shout from outside the little yellow gate: "Your Majesty is here!"

Without exception, all the concubines looked back, only Empress Dowager Dou still lowered her head and patted her on the back without a moment's delay.

"Mum!" Han Jing Emperor Liu Qida stepped into the hall, "Sister!"

"Your Majesty is well!" Liu prostituted a salute, "Last night, the wind and rain were violent, did Your Majesty sleep peacefully?"

"Thank you Sister, I'm not wrong, what about Sister?" Liu Qi smiled.

"That's good." Liu Xing smiled, "It's just that your majesty, there are few thunderstorms this winter, but there was thunder last night. I'm afraid something is wrong."

Liu Qi frowned deeply when he heard this, as if there was something he couldn't say.Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly interrupted: "Jiaojiao was crying for a while last night."

"You said you never cried? You're bullying me!" Empress Dowager Dou immediately reprimanded, "Aqi, sister, you are going too far. Just now you told me I was fine, but now you are telling me To be honest, I was a little surprised by Jiaojiao."

Liu Qi smiled: "Mom calm down, sister probably didn't do it on purpose."

He looked at Gillian, who was in the arms of Empress Dowager Dou, and bent forward: "Jiaojiao, come to hug uncle?"

"As soon as you come, you will grab Jiaojiao from me!" Empress Dowager Dou pretended to reprimand, "Hurry up, Changle Palace has nothing to do with you."

Having said that, she let go of her hand and gently pushed Chen Ajiao outside: "Hold on firmly."

Chen Ajiao stretched out her hand to the uncle who always loved her dearly: "Uncle, I miss you very much."

Liu Qi picked her up and pinched her face: "Miss me? Think why I haven't entered the palace for four or five days?"

This situation, in the eyes of those concubines, is even more dazzling.

Empress Bo knew the opportunity, seeing that Liu Qi came here and didn't pay any attention to them, she got up and bowed: "Mum, Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess and the Young Lord are here today, so I will leave first."

Empress Dowager Dou waved her hand: "Go."

Liu Qi hugged Chen Ajiao and was talking in a low voice, without even looking at them, all the concubines could only bow and retreat one by one.

"It's so unreasonable! It's just a lord! My Empress Dowager Rong'er and Your Majesty have never loved her so much!" Li Ji couldn't hold back after all, and complained at the gate of Changle Palace.

A smile appeared on Cheng Ji's face. After the birth of her eighth prince, Liu Duan, she also gradually fell out of favor.Seeing Li Ji say this at this moment, she encouraged her, "Oh, the same person has different fate. After all, the son is more precious than the mother. Who made the mother of the Lord of Tangyi be Princess Guantao?"

Li Ji was really furious when she heard the words: "What do you mean that a son is more expensive than a mother? I am not expensive! I mean, the most expensive one among us is the one, what can I do? A son is more expensive than a mother? Oh, no son Who can she make more expensive?"

When Cheng Ji heard that Li Ji lost her temper in the wrong direction, she hurriedly took a step back and hid among the crowd.

She secretly looked up at Queen Bo.Empress Bo seemed to have heard Li Ji's words, a helpless smile floated on her pale face: Is she expensive?When ever?Empress Dowager Bo pointed her out to Liu Qi, who was still the prince, because she was the granddaughter of her natal family.She knew that Liu Qi was very dissatisfied with this marriage.

Outsiders all know that she has a high status, but she would rather be a woman of humble status, lonely in the deep palace, and she only wishes to have a child to depend on, no matter male or female.

It's just - she lowered her head and sighed: I haven't been favored for more than ten years, child, where would there be any child?

----

After waiting, all the concubines left the front hall of Changle Palace.Liu Qifang's expression turned serious, and he knelt down holding Chen Ajiao and said, "Mum and sister, have you ever seen the peach blossoms today?"

Liu Xun was startled, she never imagined that Liu Qi was the first to mention this matter.

"What is the sign of the Lord?" Queen Dowager Dou asked immediately.

"The Xiongnu invaded," Liu Qi sneered, "today the peaches and plums are in full bloom, and along with the peaches and plums, there is also a letter written by Maodun Shanyu. He is coming to marry me, Princess Han again."
