Dahanjiao Queen

Not long after the imperial army left, Princess Guantao returned to the mansion, and Princess Pingyang came back with her.

"Auntie?" Chen Jiao looked at Liu whoring suspiciously, the meaning in her eyes was clearly asking her if she wanted to bring Liu Che out.

"The Imperial Forest Army is gone?" Princess Guantao didn't answer her question directly, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Chen Jiao chose her words carefully. She didn't know what Princess Guantao was thinking, so she spoke cautiously in front of Princess Pingyang, "Why is the princess here today?"

"Of course your mother invited me." Ping Yang was led by Chen Jiao to the inner room, "A-Jiao, is there any news about Cao Shou and Che'er?"

"Cao Shou?" Chen Jiao was surprised, Liu Che had already returned, Cao Shou logically...should come back too!

"That's right, Guo Sheren and the others were taken away by Concubine Dou as soon as they arrived in Chang'an today. They don't know where Che'er went, let alone met Cao Shou. Gillian, do you have any news about him? "

"Guo Sheren and the others are back?" Princess Guantao pondered for a while, "Pingyang, I'll take you to meet someone first, maybe he knows Cao Shou's whereabouts."

Liu Xun took Princess Pingyang to meet Liu Che, and when the siblings met, Chen Jiao and Guan Tao stopped disturbing and left the room quietly, leaving space for the two of them.

"Aniang, do you... have any plans?" Princess Guantao originally entered the palace today, and now she brought Princess Pingyang back to the palace, if she had no plans, it really doesn't look like her style.

"I want Pingyang to take Che'er away." Princess Guantao already had a complete idea at this moment, "I went out of the city to pay homage to your father before, and today's search by the Imperial Forest Army. I'm afraid that my mother will become more suspicious of you. Pingyang took Che'er away, firstly, for Cheer's safety, and secondly, to relieve mother's suspicion of the two of us."

"That……"

"Just now Pingyang said that Guo Sheren and the others were arrested, but I have other ideas."

"What do you want to do, Ma'am?"

"Pingyang can use the excuse that Cao Shou went missing to Dou Ying's place, and ask them to tell her mother that the crown prince is dead. In this way, she will mourn for her younger brother. At that time, Che'er will try to find a way to get in. Whether it can be done or not is up to you." Look at his good fortune."

"Auntie's plan is of course very good, but..." Chen Jiao worried, "What I'm afraid of is that Guo Sheren is stupid, Guanfu is brave but not resourceful, Li Ling...is not calm enough, and Pingyang is afraid that no matter how he hints, he will not be calm. It’s hard for them to understand. If Zhang Tang is with them, he will understand with just one click.”

"That depends on Pingyang's ability," said Princess Guantao, "A-Jiao, you must know that I am the daughter of the Empress Dowager and also your mother. Everything we do now depends on the Empress Dowager. We We can use her, but before we stand firm, we can’t let things go beyond repair. Without the Empress Dowager, without Che’er, we have nothing. But in comparison, Wang Zhi’s situation, Pingyang’s situation, It will be even more difficult. The embarrassing status of the former empress of the widowed sister-in-law, Wang Zhi does not want to, and Pingyang does not. She is cowardly and afraid to the core when facing her mother, but she still has ambitions."

"Empress Dowager Zhang?" Chen Jiao thought for a while, "Is... the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, the empress of Emperor Xiaohui of the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Yan is the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan and Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, the queen of Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying, and even a virgin queen.When Liu Heng became the empress, both the government and the public knew that Zhang Yan had nothing to do with Zhulu's chaos, so they didn't kill her when Zhulu was wiped out. Living in Beigong, she is still called Empress Xiaohui.

Zhang Yan lived in the North Palace silently, with sunrise and sunset for 17 years.In March 163 BC, Zhang Yan died of illness at the age of 40. She was buried in Anling with Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and no separate grave was erected. She was posthumously named Empress Xiaohui.After Zhang Yan's death, the subjects built temples for her one after another, enjoyed sacrifices regularly, respected her as the flower god, and the temple built for her was called the flower god temple.

When Chen Jiao was born, Zhang Yan had already passed away. Now, listening to Guantao talking about it, the memories of the past began to be involved again.In fact, in these years, she has not hesitated. Princess Guantao has treated her very well, spoiling her everywhere, pampering her, and teaching her how to survive in the palace. Sometimes, she would think about kicking the Dou family out of the court. Will it hurt Princess Guantao?When killing Liang Wang and making Dou Yifang's life worse than death, will Princess Guantao's glory and wealth be ruined?

Every time at this time, she became more determined to be a queen. If she didn't pay Princess Guantao a good daughter, she would use her life's glory and wealth to pay back.

"Yes." Guantao glanced at the room where Liu Che and Pingyang were, "We only need to contribute to the flames, and Wang Zhi and Pingyang will do the rest for us."

"I understand, Ma'am."

**********

Princess Pingyang took Liu Che back to her princess mansion, and at the same time, the news of Liu Fei's arrival in Chang'an also reached Chen Jiao through Chen Li.

"Brother lives in the west of the city now?"

"Yes."

"Where is King Jiangdu?"

"My lord lives in the station."

Chen Jiao played with the hairpin in her hand, concealing the turmoil in her mind: "First... let's go see Big Brother!"

In fact, what she wanted most in her heart was to see Liu Fei. After a few years, how could she not think about it?Some people will not fade away in memory with the passage of time, on the contrary, he will be more deeply engraved in his heart, indelible.For Chen Jiao, Liu Fei was such a person.

Chen Jiao stuffed a brocade box by the pillow into her sleeve, and got into the carriage: "Let Jinse come with me! Fleeting Year, you... I know, you want to see him too, so I'll give you half a day off."

"In the Lord's heart, he is actually the same as a servant girl!"

Seeing Chen Jiao's shocked eyes, Fleeting Nian was neither humble nor overbearing: "Actually, the Lord, don't be surprised. You can see the mind of the servant, and the servant can naturally understand yours. If you really love someone, you will naturally find that the same person is like you. The eyes that fell on him are just... all these years, the servants still don't understand, why do you want to hide it from the prince?"

"Fleeting Years, you don't understand..." Chen Jiao sighed, "He has already passed the age of marriage, after the crown prince ascends the throne, I will bestow a marriage for him, and you will give him a marriage, how about it?"

"No——" Liu Nian suddenly knelt down, "Master, you said that in your heart, I am different from Jinse and the others. Do you still remember?"

"Naturally remember, although I don't say I treat you like my own sister, but you are indeed the person I trust the most. Therefore, when there are no outsiders, you don't have to call yourself a slave."

"Your maidservant dares to ask the Lord not to grant me a marriage."

"Why?" Chen Jiao was puzzled, "Don't you want to marry him? I promised you that you only need to stay by my side for ten years, and now the ten-year period has expired."

"I have him in my heart, it's my own business. The person in his heart has never been me, and I don't want to marry someone who doesn't have me in his heart. That would be wronging myself. If the Lord really loves me, let me Follow Weng Lord's side, if the fate comes in the future, I will leave the palace."

"What if the fate has not arrived?"

"Then I will stay with Lord Weng and stay by his side for the rest of my life."

"You don't want to marry?"

"It's because I don't want to wrong myself. In this life, in just a few decades, I want to do what I want to do and marry whoever I want to marry."

Chen Jiao laughed: "Liu Nian, you mean something. What exactly do you want to say?"

"My lord, don't you regret it?"

"I won't regret it. Fleeting Years, I want him to be happy. I want him to have a wife, a few children, and a complete family. Others, he doesn't accept it; you are the person I can trust the most."

Chen Jiao has had this idea for a long time, but she never thought that Fleeting Nian would be unwilling to marry.

"Fleeting time... don't shake me anymore. There are some things that I can't think about. If you want to stay with me, then it's up to you. When you want to marry, as long as I have the ability, I will take care of it for you .Today's words... don't mention it again."

"Here." Liu Nian stood up, "I will accompany you to see Mr. Chen!"

"Alright..." Chen Jiao let out a long sigh, "Let's go!"

"Here."
