Hanhou

After leaving the palace, Wei Qing'e returned to Zhao Mansion by car.He went to see his sleeping son first, ordered the wet nurse to take care of him carefully, and sat alone in front of the screen, staring at the jade ring bestowed by the queen, and remained silent for a long time.

When it was time to light the lamp, Zhao Jia still hadn't returned.

There was a soft sound outside, Wei Qiu pushed open the door and brought freshly cooked tea soup and pastries.

Seeing the situation in the room, Wei Qiu immediately relaxed his movements, put the dishes on the tables, brought in new lamps, and was about to exit the inner room.

"Aqiu." Wei Qing'er woke up from deep contemplation, and suddenly said, "Stay and talk with me."

"No." Wei Qiu responded, turned around and closed the door first, then sat down on Wei Qing's head, and said softly, "What does the girl want to say?"

"When I entered the palace today, Her Majesty the Empress gave me a ring and said that she intends to help me reorganize the caravan before going to the Western Regions." Wei Qingmo put down the jade ring, held up the lacquer cup, put it to his mouth, and took a sip slowly.

The slightly bitter taste slides down the throat, but there is a sweet aftertaste.

Wei Qiu raised his head, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The girl answered?"

"Not yet." Wei Qingyi shook his head and said, "I think His Highness seems to have made a temporary decision, and let me think about it first, and there is no need to make a quick decision. After all, my son is still young, so I can't leave it all to the wet nurse and servants."

Wei Qiu pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Since Her Royal Highness has spoken, unless she changes her mind, the girl will always agree."

"I know." Wei Qingmo nodded, and sighed softly, "His Highness mentioned this matter, it is false to say that he is not interested, but..."

"The girl has concerns?"

"Yes." Wei Qing'e said bluntly, "I was wondering if it would be a hindrance to Ah Duo."

"Lang Jun?"

"Before when I was in Bianjun, the rules were no worse than those in the capital city. I could do things freely without too many scruples. Now that I am in Chang'an, I naturally have to be more careful in everything." Wei Qingmo put down the lacquer cup and said in a deep voice, "Aduosi Zhengli Make a great effort, look inside and out, with so many pairs of eyes staring at me. I came to Beijing with Ah Duo, and now I live in the mansion again, not to mention helping, if I act carelessly and cause trouble to Ah Duo, I will regret it!"

Wei Qing'e had practiced calligraphy and reading, knew Empress Lu, and also knew Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dou.

Even if the queen had no such intentions, she couldn't be careless.Through previous encounters, she knows that people's hearts are unpredictable.The ghosts and monsters have evil thoughts, even if nothing happens, they will force a bit of trouble.

"Girl..." Wei Qiu opened his mouth to persuade, but he didn't know where to start.

"When Ah Duo returns, I will discuss with him, and maybe I can ask the third son for advice." Wei Qingmo stroked the edge of the lacquer cup, lowered his head, and looked down at the shadow reflected on the bottom of the cup.

Wei Qiu nodded slightly, and when Wei Qingmo relaxed, he got up and moved behind her, removed the hairpin for her, untied her hair, ran her fingers through the long hair that covered her waist, and said softly: "Girl, Mr. There are no absolutes in words, and there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

"Indeed." Wei Qingmo closed his eyes and chuckled, "Probably because he suffered a big loss before, and now he is so careful."

Wei Qiu also laughed.

Slim fingers slid from the top of the hair to the end of the hair, and gently pressed Wei Qingmo's forehead. Seeing Wei Qingmo's slightly tired smile, he couldn't help but think of the past. Even though Aying and the others had died, there was still anger in his chest .

Had I known today, I would not have been merciful.When those dirty things first appeared, they should be cut off with a knife and set on fire to clean them up.

If the girl reorganizes the caravan and goes to the Western Regions again, she must keep in mind with Wei Xia that the past is not forgotten, and the teacher of the future must never be soft when it is time to use the knife, kill the person who should be killed, and eliminate the evil that should be killed.

Unfaithful people must not be forgiven lightly, they should be hung up like an eagle and cut into pieces!

Wei Qiu has made up his mind and will not change it.

In the next few years, accompanied by Wei Qing'e's reorganization of the caravan, she traveled all over the countries of the Western Regions, and even went as far as Anxi to be poisoned, and her and Wei Xia's reputation spread far and wide.For 20 years, this pair of beautiful and ruthless sisters has been a nightmare that haunts the hearts of bandits and villains.

As the owner of the caravan, Wei Qingmo has the support of the queen of the dynasty and the backing of Zhao Jia. The scale of the caravan continues to expand, and he dares to be the first. He dug wells and ditches in the border county to help the imperial court consolidate its rule in Monan.

After several years of operation, by the middle of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qingmo had become one of the giant merchants, almost as clear as the widow of the former court.

His son, Wei Hao, was taught by Zhao Jia. He was extremely intelligent and skilled. In the year of Wu Xiang, he went west and north with the caravan.After reaching the crown, he was awarded the title of Lang Guan, appointed by the emperor, entered the Yulin camp, and followed Huo Qubing to conquer the north and south.

Today's Wei Hao is still a baby, he looks fat and pleasant, and he smiles at everyone.

No one would have imagined that this chubby little guy would follow the youngest lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, from Asia to Europe, crushing and pushing all the way, defeating Rome in peace, and making great achievements in battle. history.

That night, Zhao Jia stayed in Weiyang Palace, and Wei Qingmo lay on the couch, thinking that he would be tossing and turning, but unexpectedly fell asleep when he touched the pillow, and had no dreams until dawn.

The next morning, when Zhao Jia came back from the palace, Wei Qing'e hadn't got up yet.After she washed and used the court food, Zhao Jia had already changed into the crown clothes and went to the palace for morning court.

The two sisters could not meet each other, let alone say a word.

Fortunately, after a night, Wei Qing's mind settled down and he was no longer impatient.Leaving Wei Hao in the care of the wet nurse, he planned to leave the mansion by car and take a walk in Chang'an City to see the prosperity of the capital with his own eyes.

Because Zhao's Mansion is located in the south of the city and the commercial city is in the north of the city, Wei Qing'e needs to take a horse-drawn carriage to travel, and has to cross half a long street and pass several noble mansions.

On the way, I ran into Princess Yangxin's car, and almost collided with each other because the other party was too fast.

Fortunately, the coachman reacted quickly enough, he suddenly grabbed the reins, with deep marks on his palms, and finally turned the carriage.

Yang Xin's spirit is not going well, and he is not pleasing to the eye.Even if it was his own fault, he was unwilling to let him go. He ordered Qi Tong to stop, reveal his identity, and insisted on letting Wei Qingmo in the car come down to make amends.

"Girl, do you want to go down?" Wei Qiu frowned.

"Go down."

Wei Qing'e didn't say much, stretched out his hand to push the car door, stepped off the railing, stood still and leaned over to salute.

"Common man?" Yang Xin sneered when he saw Wei Qing'er's attire and the carriage she was riding in, "Twenty lashes."

The rider took the lead, got off his horse, and stepped forward aggressively.

The coachman immediately jumped off the fence and stopped the riding boy who was swinging the whip.Wei Qiu and Wei Xia dodge at the same time, one on the left and one on the right to block in front of Wei Qingmo.

Seeing this, Yang Xin was furious and said: "Let's smoke together!"

"promise!"

Six riding boys stepped forward at the same time, with grinning faces, and raised their whips in their hands.

The coachman's face changed suddenly, Wei Xia and Wei Qiu gritted their teeth at the same time, it must have been that Wei Qing'er had ordered him to do it on the spot, knocking the rider in front of him to the ground instead of grabbing the whip with his bare hands.

"Bold!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Xin was even more furious.

Thinking of Cao Shi's return, she took the initiative to lower her figure, still avoiding seeing each other, and moved directly into the study, with nowhere to vent her depression, and said sharply: "Whip!"

The two words were spoken, and the expressions of several riders changed drastically.

As a princess servant, although he can be arrogant and domineering with his back against a big tree, he must also know how to behave.

Flogging and flogging are two completely different things.

Killing ordinary people in the street violated the criminal regulations. Once arrested by the official temple, the evidence is solid, and his life will definitely be lost.Although Princess Yangxin is dignified, her relationship with the Son of Heaven is average, far inferior to Princess Yuyang and Princess Longli, the Lieutenant's Mansion may not give her face.

If they disobeyed, the princess would not let them go, and it would still be a dead end.

While Qitong was hesitating and in a dilemma, another carriage passed by. According to the regulations, it should be the carriage of Dou Taizhu Liu whoring.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Yang Xin parked in the middle of the road, Liu Xing opened the car door and asked in surprise, "Yang Xin, what are you doing?"

Yang Xin is not favored, and the news is not well-informed, but Liu Xun knows Wei Qing'er's identity clearly.

Not to mention her relationship with Zhao Jia, just because Chen Jiao called her into the palace yesterday, gave her a generous reward, and sent someone to Tangyi Hou's mansion to deliver a letter, revealing some words of helping her rebuild the caravan, Liu Xing would not It is possible to ignore what is in front of you.

She had never seen Wei Qing'e before, but she did not prevent her from sending a loyal servant to inquire.In addition, Wei Qing'er was riding in the Zhao Mansion's carriage, and the driver was a servant of the Zhao Mansion's, so his identity was self-evident.

There is something in Liu whoring's words, and the implication is obvious.

Yang Xin's rationality gradually returned, and he looked at Wei Qing'e again, and frowned when he saw the carriage she was riding in.

He intends not to let it go, but there is Liu whoring in the middle.

Thinking of Chen Jiao, who controls the harem, and Tangyihou's mansion, which is rising, compared with himself, Yang Xin finally suppressed his anger, and ordered Qitong to drive away on the pretext of visiting the queen mother in the palace, without continuing to entangle.

Watching Yang Xin's car drive away, Wei Qing'e stepped forward to thank Liu Xing.

After looking at her carefully for a moment, Liu Xing didn't say anything, closed the door of the car, and ordered Qi Tong to move on.

This episode, on the surface, did not cause much disturbance.In the eyes of caring people, it is quite meaningful.

After the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of Marquis of Zhao Jiaguan and five thousand households in the city, Wei Qing's status quickly became unusual.

I don't know where the rumors came from, and Zhao Jia was implicated together with Tang Yihou's Mansion, Dou Taizhu and even Empress Chen of Jiaofang Palace through Wei Qingmo's incident.

The embroidered clothes messenger reported, Liu Che read all the content, and immediately sneered: "Okay, it's really good."

After the words fell, he got up and left the announcement room, but did not go to the Jiaofang Palace, but directly drove to the Changle Palace.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Chen Jiao heard the report, waved away the eunuchs and palace people, turned on the palace lantern with her own hands, and said to the worried Liu Piao: "Mum, please be safe. Your Majesty can see it more clearly than anyone else. "

"Really don't care?"

"It doesn't matter, there is no need to explain." Chen Jiao chuckled and said, "Zhao Hou Jian is in the emperor's heart, and he has the appearance of a lonely minister. Rumors can't hurt him. It is His Majesty's intention to let the guard woman rebuild the caravan. I don't know. Sacred Heart, pretend to be smart, the more you do, the more mistakes you make."

What's more, the faster you die.

"But I'm always worried."

"Mum, I have no children, and I won't have any in the future." Chen Jiao turned her head, the lights were flickering, and her smile was dimly reflected, "So, don't worry."

Looking at her daughter, Liu Xing suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and hugged Chen Jiao into her arms, her arms tightened even tighter.

Chen Jiao nestled in her mother's arms, still smiling, closed her eyes, and remained motionless for a long time.
