Dahanjiao Queen

On the night of the queen's birthday, Zifu Wei was made his wife, and three other benefactors were named.

Since that night, the relationship between the emperor and empress has plunged into a freezing point.

In the past, even if Liu Che didn't stay at the Jiaofang Palace, he would have dinner with the Queen at least once a day. After Mrs. Ziwei and he "sobered up" on the Queen's birthday and left the banquet, for five consecutive days, Liu Che stayed at Mrs. Wei's place overnight. Never spoke a word to the Queen.

On the sixth day, Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, presented a writable object called "paper" to the emperor in the name of congratulating the queen's birthday. He said that there had been no progress for more than a year before. Nearly, I got advice from an expert in my dream, and accidentally made this thing. After many experiments, I present the finished product and method to Your Majesty.

Emperor Dayue, the king of Jiangdu stayed in Chang'an for several months.

**********

The queen's rage that everyone thought had never happened from the beginning to the end. At this moment, Chen Jiao was leaning on the recliner, holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand, enjoying the warm sunshine of early winter.

Hearing familiar footsteps, she put down the bamboo slips and raised her head: "How is it?"

"Your Majesty said today that he is staying in Suxin..."

Chen Jiao interrupted impatiently, and corrected, "It's Mr. Sun Liang."

Su Xin's surname is Sun, since she has already been named a beloved, the palace servants should naturally call her Sun Liangren.

"I didn't ask her, I was talking about your injury." Chen Jiao's eyes stopped on Liu Nian's knee, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"It's ready. Empress," Liu Nian brought some snacks and put them on the table next to her, "You and the prince have treated me as much as a mountain, I... don't deserve your compromise."

Chen Jiao took a piece of pastry casually: "Don't mention the past. I just happened to be a little hungry, and you came at the right time. How many days has Princess Pingyang left?"

"Three days."

Three days...according to King Liang's eagerness to marry Princess Pingyang to the Huns, I am afraid that once the bride-seeking team leaves Chang'an, they will travel day and night.

"Your Majesty is staying at Yutang Hall today?" Yutang Hall is where the three beauties live, and it is also in Weiyang Palace, but compared to Jiaofang Hall, the location of Yutang Hall can only be regarded as a corner.

"Is your majesty looking for someone to invite Your Majesty?"

Chen Jiao thought for a while: "Your Majesty invites him when he is in the Xuanshi Palace. It is not necessary to invite him. By the way, what is Zhang Tang doing these days? Doesn't he know about Princess Pingyang's marriage? It was also that day, knowing that Your Majesty has no intention of getting married at all, and even took Liu Ling to see him, could it be..."

Thinking of Liu Ling, Chen Jiao's voice gradually decreased.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Liu Ling for many years. The last time she saw Liu Che was in a hurry when he ascended the throne. Maybe it was a woman's intuition. Chen Jiao didn't have a good impression of Liu Ling.Even... a little bit worse.

A woman who is too coquettish is not a good thing.

Such a woman is often related to two words - danger.

"Zhang Tang... why did he help Liu Ling when he knew that His Majesty could not get married? Dongfang Shuo tried her once, and what she was after was status. Huainan King... Liu An has always been indifferent to political affairs, preferring to be peaceful." One corner, Liu Ling's ambition..." Chen Jiao frowned. Is Liu Ling's ambition an exception, or... just Liu An's thoughts?

Fleeting Nian tentatively asked: "Could it be that Mr. Zhang has a handle in the hands of Princess Liu Ling, so he has a sense of adventure knowing that he can't do anything?"

Makes sense.

Chen Jiao nodded: "Find someone to watch Zhang Tang, and find two people to watch Liu Ling. By the way, where is Liu Ling now? Is he still in Chang'an?"

"It should be here." Fleeting Nian was not very sure, "I didn't hear the news of her returning to Huainan, it seems... a few days ago, I went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager."

Chen Jiao didn't speak.

"Miss?"

Chen Jiao said abruptly: "Remember, you must find Your Majesty, just say that I have something very important to see him. If he insists on not seeing me, find someone to inform me immediately, and find a way to drag Your Majesty to the proclamation room." Dian, I will go find him in person. Today is the sixth day, and I really have to say something to calm him down."

After all, she still wanted to use Liu Che to leave here.

"Here."

After Liu Nian walked a few steps, Chen Jiao stopped her again: "Wait, Liu Nian, tomorrow you go to Jiangdu King to pass a message, just say...the empress wants to meet..."

The Queen wants to see King Jiangdu.

But the words came out, but in the end it turned into "The empress wants to meet Chen Li."

"...here."

Chen Jiao wanted to see Liu Fei, but she didn't dare to see Liu Fei.She was afraid that after seeing him, her desire to leave would become more urgent; she was afraid that after seeing her, she would not dare to look at him.

Liu Fei is such a warm person, but this warmth only belongs to the former Chen Jiao, and will never belong to the future Chen Jiao.It won't belong to Chen Jiao in three days' time.She has already arranged all the people in the Yulin Army, and she just waited for Liu Che to take them to chase Princess Pingyang back and shoot King Liang to death with random arrows.

The arrow is already on the string, and the road ahead of her can only advance, not retreat.

The purpose of not telling Liu Che that he was going to make Wei Zifu his wife was to anger her, and to give Dou Yifang enough time to allow her to let King Liang send Princess Pingyang to the Huns. Now...the time has come, it is time to tell Liu Che .

**********

Xuanshi hall.

"What are you looking for?" Liu Che, who was stopped by Chen Jiao in the hall, was still furious. That night was the time he drank the most, but it was also the night when he was most sober.

With all his clothes off, Wei Zifu waited shyly for him to come, but...he found that he didn't want to touch her at all.Although he stayed at Wei Zifu's place for a few days, he pretended to be drunk every night. Seeing that the emperor's grandmother would have to intervene if this continued, he planned to stay in Yutang Palace today. The queen mother's people are not counted as the queen's and her own people, so people who can't touch each other on three sides are the safest.He can give Su Xin superficial glory without worrying that she will complain to the Empress Dowager.

Liu Che is very confused now. He thought it was normal for the emperor to have the Sangong and Six Courtyards, but he was not the happy one when Gillian offered him a concubine. Instead, he was the most annoyed.

In fact, Liu Che originally planned to finish on Gillian's birthday what should have been done on that festive night more than half a year ago.However, on this day, his queen, his virtuous queen, arranged for him four women - especially, two of them were the empress dowagers.

He remembered his promise to her, but she didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

"What? Didn't the Empress say she wanted to find me? Why..." He heard silence behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Jiao raised her head slightly, looking at him with tears in her eyes, but her eyes were unwilling and stubborn.

Liu Che panicked all of a sudden.

He hadn't seen Chen Jiao cry for many years. It seemed...the last time Chen Jiao cried was when Chen Wu passed away. Later, when her father passed away, although she was sad, she sobbed softly.And now... No, she didn't cry, she was just crying silently, looking at him with that look, but her appearance made all his anger disappear in an instant.The memory seemed to go back to when he was a child, he made Gillian angry, she didn't speak, just stared at him.

"A-Jiao, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Che reached out to wipe her tears, but she gently brushed them away: "Your Majesty is angry, Gu..." She said "Gu", but she shed more tears, wiping away the tears on her cheek with her fingertips. Tears, Chen Jiao continued, "This is the first time you said 'Zhen' in front of me. Your Majesty..."

"A-Jiao, please don't cry, I... for a while...you...cry until I feel bad..." Liu Che muttered in a low voice, and said solemnly, "I promise, it will never happen again."

"Really?"

"I promise. Gillian, don't cry, okay? When you cry, I'm at a loss."

Chen Jiao slowly stopped her tears: "I don't want to either. The Empress Dowager took Fleeting Years... Fleeting Years almost died, so I had no choice but to agree. Cheer, don't be angry with me, okay?" She softened voice, coaxing Liu Che carefully.

"Kiss me!" Liu Che took the opportunity to ask.

He was a little taller than Chen Jiao, and Chen Jiao had to tiptoe slightly so that her lips could touch Liu Che's side face.

"By the way," Chen Jiao touched Liu Che's side face, but suddenly became anxious, "I have something very important to tell you, I was going to tell you that night, but you and Wei Zi Husband... I have been angry with you these few days, and I have forgotten about it."

"Why are you so anxious," Liu Che dismissed it, "A-Jiao, do you know..."

"Do you know that Princess Pingyang was sent to marry by the Empress Dowager?" Chen Jiao interrupted him, "Those who know about this will either be locked up by the Empress Dowager, or they will not see you at all. I accidentally I found out that I didn't believe it at first, but it was only on the day of my birthday that I found out that the Empress Dowager planned to send her to marry her on the third day. I... I was too busy annoying you, so I forgot about it, Cheer, you... ...don't blame me!"

The author has something to say: There are several theories about the queen's self-proclaimed name in front of the emperor.

There is a sentence in "Hanshu Lou Jing Biography"-Empress Lu cried and said: "A concubine only has one prince and one daughter, but how can I abandon the Huns!" That is to say, Empress Lu once called herself a "concubine".The Empress Xu of the Han Yuan Emperor did not record her name in the "Hanshu", but it is recorded that there is a sentence "Concubine praises cloth and clothes rice" in the Shangshu of Empress Xu, that is, she calls herself a "concubine".

"Historical Records Wu Taibo's Family" and "Wu Zixu Biography" have the words "asking the country to be a concubine" and "asking the country to be a concubine"; "There is a saying that "the concubine in the world is salty for resentment"; it can be seen that the concubine is not the self-proclaimed queen and concubine, but some Song history also said that the concubine called herself a concubine when she was granted the title, and it is not usually necessary.

Therefore, in the previous article, when the emperor and empress got married, Chen Jiao called herself a "concubine", which is a kind of modesty, but she usually doesn't call herself that way.

In "Hanshu Biography", most concubines like to use the title "I" when they call themselves. Fan Ye wrote "Houhan Shu" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and among the concubines cited in "Queen Ji", they use the title "I". "Most of them.

The self-proclaimed "solitary" can theoretically be used by queen mother, empress, and princess, but in fact, it is relatively rare to call oneself a self-proclaimed one. I personally think that this kind of statement may be more official and majestic, and it still reminds me of being lonely. That's why Chen Jiao doesn't call herself solitary. She always refers to herself as "I" or "Bengong", and occasionally calls herself "solitary".

Because the Western Han Dynasty is really long, it is difficult to verify, so it is not guaranteed to be correct, if I am wrong, please correct me, thank you.
