The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Xia Anran was kicked out of the palace by her own father. The old father said that he didn't want to see him in the short term, and don't hand him the letter. People don't want to read the letter or read it.

There was a lot of discussion in the palace. What did His Highness do to anger His Majesty, but the mansion belonging to King Zhongshan was peaceful.After completing the task of coming out unexpectedly and being bounced back by her father, Xia Anran felt a little terrified, but also at ease.

Seeing that Liu Qi's attitude obviously wanted to be dealt with coldly, it was not that Xia Anran was not worried that Liu Qi, as his father, would come to forcibly interfere, but there was no turning back now.He squeezed the jade plaque carved by Dou Wan to him, listed his strengths and weaknesses in his mind, and repeatedly considered the probability of success in coming out this time.

In fact, his side is fine, anyway, his father can't do anything to his own son, he's afraid that there will be problems with Dou Wan.Although he felt that Liu Qi would not do this, but he could think calmly about the matter, and his emotions always surpassed his reason when he was involved, Xia Anran suddenly couldn't be so sure.

He thought bitterly for a long time, but quietly passed the note to his mother.

One day, two days, three days, his mother ignored him, but his elder brother who arrived in the capital came to him.Liu Pengzu looked at his listless younger brother and was furious, he poked his finger on his forehead and said viciously, "What's going on!"

Xia Anran wouldn't kick the cabinet door down again, he just shook his head, "I can't say yet."

Liu Pengzu was angry and impatient, as if he couldn't pry his brother's mouth open after several attempts, so he could only enter the palace, and after he entered the palace to meet his mother once, the look in his brother's eyes changed from angry to subtle.Xia Anran couldn't understand that look, and always felt that there was a bit of affection in it.

And soon he knew why his brother loved him, because the little king was given a marriage.

The object of the marriage was a woman from the Empress Dowager Dou's family, who was about the same age as him.When he heard the news, Xia Anran became anxious immediately, this method of using one's spear to attack the other's shield is too rogue, it is obviously forcing Dou Wan to quit, father, you are a child! ?

However, the emperor has made it clear that he will not see him, even if he stands at the gate of Weiyang Palace, he is stopped, and Changle Palace is also not allowed to meet him, Xia Anran feels that the hair on his back is a little blown.

He suppressed his temper forcefully and warned himself not to mess around.

After learning that he was given a marriage, many people came to congratulate him. The reason why the little king was refused to meet before all became a drama of "Father wants to give you a surprise", but these people were all respected. Respectfully received, and then sent back without loss of courtesy.Xia Anran finally calmed down after being rejected by several people in a row. If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. He adjusted his mood and began to personally receive the officials who came to congratulate him, and then inquired about this "Dou Shi" without any trace. female" information.

This behavior of his is very common, almost every little prince is like this after being accused of getting married, and unsuspecting visitors all speak well of the queen-to-be.

Xia Anran listened to one ear saying that she was quiet and didn't like to go out, and also heard the other ear saying that her reputation was not obvious, it must be her character and duty, etc. He sketched a low-key and quiet image of a lady in his heart.But as the information gradually increased, he also noticed one thing - this daughter of the Dou family had never appeared in the social circle of Chang'an City, and almost no one had actually seen this lady, because everyone's adjectives were very vague, Also omnipotent.

It would be fine to put it in a conservative dynasty more than 1000 years later, but this is the Western Han Dynasty, and women in the Western Han Dynasty have a certain degree of autonomy in choosing a mate.In addition, when you reach the age of 14, you have to pay taxes. Basically, when you are eleven or twelve years old, you will enter the social circle and see each other.

As a relative of Empress Dowager Dou, who is not social and has no reputation, it is too strange to be married to the feudal prince suddenly.

Xia Anran rolled her eyes, and he sent a note to Chen Jiao, and got the answer he wanted.

——Chen Jiao had never heard about this daughter of the Dou family from Princess Guantao, as if she didn't exist.

Doesn't it just not exist?

"Oh?" In Changle Palace, the most honorable man in the Great Han Kingdom raised his eyebrows after hearing the report from the subordinate, "You mean he guessed it?"

"The king of Zhongshan has lost his mind since he got the news from the same Weng Lord, and he just indulged in fun. I think he must have guessed it."

Liu Qi snorted, and immediately a little meat ball approached beside him, and Liu Che handed his father a glass of water, "Father, drink some tea to calm down."

Liu Qi took the tea but didn't drink it, but put it on the table. After a while, he was still a little skeptical, "Are you sure no one has revealed the news to him?"

"Returning to Your Highness, absolutely not. The person who went to congratulate him did not know the truth. I thought His Highness King Zhongshan was talented and intelligent, so it must be his own judgment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi became even angrier, "He is talented and intelligent! It's a pity that he is not on the right track!"

"Father!" Liu Che raised his small fist to knock the angry old father on the back, "Father, brother is fine, brother Wan is also fine..."

"Go to the side." Liu Qi immediately refused to let him knock, and Liu Che withdrew his hand and sat aside in aggrieved manner.

The emperor pinched the center of his brows, "You go down first, I know."

"Here."

After the courtier retreated for a while, Liu Che dawdled over again and tentatively squeezed Lao De's shoulders, but Liu Qi didn't push him away this time.

Seeing this, Liu Che immediately became excited. He thumped his old father on the back, but the obedient Liu Xiaozhu didn't say anything. Instead, Liu Qi couldn't hold back, "How could he find out? It shouldn't be. "

Liu Che pursed his lips and smiled.

A few days ago, father and elder brother broke up unhappy, and Liu Che also learned from his father that elder brother actually planned to marry elder brother Wan back to be the queen.

How can this be?Liu Che also exploded, he had the same thoughts as Liu Qi.If the vassal king and concubine had no children, it would be tantamount to being an extinct one. Zhongshan Kingdom would also become Zhongshan County after brother's death.

It's okay to be with Ah Wan, but it's absolutely not possible without a son-in-law.

Liu Che immediately wanted to go out of the palace to find his brother, but was stopped by Liu Qi.Liu Qi's emotions at this time were complicated. On the one hand, he was angry at his son's move, and on the other hand, his rationality as an emperor told him that if Liu Sheng really married a man, it would be good for the man and Liu Che.

Zhongshan Kingdom has a weak foundation, but it has been run by his son for many years, and the country has developed extremely fast.If you wait until the river that can connect to the coast is opened, there is no doubt that Zhongshan will become a new trading power.At that time, if Zhongshan Kingdom can still be a vassal state, then it will be a bit bad according to the speed of income and asset accumulation.

Wealth can attract desperadoes, smooth roads can become a place of flow, and Zhongshan’s state-owned iron mines and copper mines have talents and people’s hearts. Now there are all the townspeople, what about the future?Now the son can control it, what about in the future?

But this kind of hesitation was only for a moment, and he wouldn't expect his son to be masculine for some unclear future matter and cut off his own way out.

He closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, and made a plan to point Dou's daughter to Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, and then he made a bet with himself and Liu Che.

If Liu Sheng is dazzled by this will and does Meng Lang's disrespectful act, then this daughter of the Dou family must exist

Conversely, if Liu Sheng can keep calm and see the clues, then he will let go and agree that his son will be with Dou Wan, but Dou Wan must also marry into Zhongshan Kingdom as the daughter of Dou's daughter instead of herself.

For this reason, Liu Qi was scolded bloody by Empress Dou. Even Dou Ying, who was confused and knew nothing, didn't escape.

In the words of Empress Dowager Dou, both of them can't control their sons!Everyone should be scolded.

As for Liu Qi, who came up with bad ideas, he should be scolded even more.The old lady dote on children when she is old, but she will never dote on children unprincipled. Some things should be decided immediately. They all come from this age. Who didn't have any messy thoughts when they were young? After ten or twenty years so what.

Empress Dowager Dou patted the table and said: "Didn't the first emperor also have Beigong Bozi first, then Zhao Tong, and he was so spoiled that he was lawless. What happened? Didn't he forget when he met Deng Tong?"

The old lady can talk about this, but the other two can't answer. Dou Ying coughed awkwardly, and his cough immediately attracted the attention of Queen Dowager Dou, "Wei Qihou, I heard that your son-in-law Yu Bianguan has made a great contribution, so it can be seen that it is a good one, did you just watch Dou Wan enter Sheng'er's backyard? Become that smeared person?"

Dou Ying choked, but couldn't help but think of that picture in her mind, and her whole body trembled.

Liu Qi coughed dryly, "Uh, mother, what Shenger means is that Dou Wan won't enter the backyard..."

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Dou scolded completely angrily, "You are not allowed to speak, and you will get angry when you hear it."

Liu Qi had no choice but to stand aside embarrassingly, but his retreat failed to stop the old lady's anger, and Empress Dowager Dou turned her anger on him, "It's all your fault! Wouldn't it be okay if we gave the marriage together? The daughter-in-law is in charge, how can there be so many things!"

This is what you said... Liu Qi smacked his lips, he didn't see you stop his father when he was looking for those male favourites.Fortunately, the old lady couldn't hear the thoughts in his heart.

But this topic still cannot be avoided, Liu Qi said cautiously: "Mother, the child is getting older, it's better to avoid it than to block it, I thought I'd try this method, and when the time comes, Sheng'er will definitely have nothing else to lose." It's easy to say. Let's say that he lost the calmness he should have as a feudal lord because of this man, which means that this is not a good match. In this way, Sheng'er will have nothing to say at that time, and he will not be separated from us..."

Dou Ying touched her nose secretly, but said nothing.

"Nonsense! I'm his own grandma, he dares to try centrifuging with me!" Empress Dowager Dou muttered a few words, but her attitude softened a bit, and she was somewhat persuaded.In the final analysis, although she likes these princes, she does have quite a few grandchildren. Once the feelings are scattered and the little princes are early, so many years have passed, the degree is limited after all.

If the same thing happened to Liu Rong or Liu Che, the intensity of Empress Dowager Dou's reaction would definitely go up a few steps.

But the old lady is an old Jiang Hu, she quickly realized, "No, what if Sheng'er can really calm down and make a judgment? Is it really necessary to find him a son-in-law? Well, what about this child? manage?"

And not only Liu Sheng, but their Dou family finally had a capable person. If they really married Liu Sheng, what would happen to his heirs?

Regarding this point, Liu Qi had already thought about it, he loosened his fingers, "It's really not possible... I will adopt Peng Zu's child to Sheng'er."

"Can your attention be any worse?" Empress Dowager Dou glared at him, "Queen Zhao is just pregnant!"

"It's not about this now..." Liu Qi clicked his tongue lightly, and he didn't intend to elaborate on it, "Mother, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and maybe the two of them will break up in a few days."

"So I thought about it, pointing out to Sheng'er the identity of a daughter of the Dou family, if there is an emergency at that time, it will not hurt the names of the two of them."

"It's better to be like this." Queen Dowager Dou said lightly, but she endured it, and still urged, "You have to look at Che'er, it's fine if Sheng'er is a vassal king, but Cheer can't do it."

Liu Qi was silent for a while, he thought about Liu Che's past behavior... and then thought about how this kid cared about the noble girls in Beijing, and said, "It should be...it's okay."

Liu Che didn't know that the dangerous topic had once turned to him that day, but now he and Liu Qi were both struggling.

Liu Che doesn't like Dou Wan at all now. The friendship that Dou Wan helped him with his homework in the past is of course gone in front of his elder brother. Now in his eyes, Dou Wan is the one who strangled his more than 100 nephews and nieces in the cradle bad guy.

He has already made a plan before, how much dowry he should prepare for his niece, and he has already started to look for a noble daughter and mother for his nephews who have not yet been seen - don't laugh, every married woman nowadays is likely to give birth to his nephew and daughter-in-law , so now it looks like there is nothing wrong with it.

And now, these are gone!Thinking about the good, he can save the money for the emperor's parade, but this is not fair to brother at all, this is their brother's agreement!

But Brother likes Dou Wan.

Hey, he is only a ten-year-old child, why should he face such a difficult problem.

Liu Che numbly urged a little: "Father...?"

Forget it, Liu Qi sighed, he was a little tired from being disturbed by this for the past few days, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, he waved his hand to signal Chuntuo to call Jiu'er in.When he met his younger son's worried eyes, Liu Qi touched his head, "Che'er, what kind of girl do you like?"

"How about your cousin Gillian? Although she is a little older than you, she knows how to take care of others when she is older."

Liu Che was silent for a while, and made a choice between betraying his cousin or keeping a secret, "Father, it seems that Chen Jiao also has someone she likes."

When the little king arrived, the old father was rubbing his forehead again, and the younger brother shrank aside like a quail.Xia Anran was taken aback, and quickly ran forward, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Qi waved his hand and asked someone to take the incense burner away, which made people's brain hurt, and then he called the person to his side, "Tell me first, what's going on with Chen Jiao?"

Xia Anran: =w=

Liu Qi lightly said: "What's the matter with your nymphet?"

Xia Anran turned her head silently, and Liu Xiaozhu, who was stared at by him, became smaller again.

"Look what your brother is doing!" Liu Qi knocked on the table, everyone was worried, "Tell me quickly."

It's not impossible to talk about Chen Jiao, so Xia Anran told Liu Qi the story of the two of them.Liu Qi's eyebrows twitched when he heard that Chen Jiao was disguised as a man and came to Sun Yat-Sen National University, and his expression twitched when he heard that Nymphae's plot basically involved these two people.

"According to this..." Liu Qi savored for a moment, "Do you also think that Chen Jiao will be accused of marriage after returning to Chang'an?"

Xia Anran gave a dry cough.

"Then, Chen Jiao will marry obediently, and finally fly away as butterflies with Zhang Tang? What do you think is going on in your head? No wonder you haven't grown taller for so long."

Xia Anran's eyes suddenly widened, and when she was about to refute, Liu Qi stared back.After a long time, the little king said aggrievedly: "Jiaojiao begged me to come here, and I can't help it."

"Don't talk," Liu Qi hummed, "I'll get angry when you talk."

He inhaled and exhaled, brewing for a long time, then waved his hand suddenly, "Don't tell me about Chen Jiao, you can tell me what you think first."

"to be frank."

Xia Anran was silent for a moment, and said with embarrassment: "Actually, we haven't reached an agreement yet, this is just my personal thought."

"Awan wants to chase the Xiongnu in the north and the barbarians in the south, just like Cheer." The little king glanced at Liu Xiaozhu, who was quietly eyeballing him, and then smiled, "They want to open up borders, so I will do it for you." They guard the rear."

Liu Che grinned when he heard the words, his big and round black eyes couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, if Liu Qi wasn't still here, he might rush over immediately.

"You should have thought about it." Liu Qi said in a calm voice, "No regrets?"

"I will definitely not regret it."

"Since that's the case..." Liu Qi paused, and then said, "It's up to you."

Xia Anran paused, he raised his eyes to look at his expressionless father, his gaze swept over Liu Qi's face inch by inch, from the dark under eyes to the untrimmed messy mustache.He pursed his lips, stood up, walked to the royal case and prostrated, only felt that his throat was dry, but the three short words seemed to be squeezed out one by one, "Thank you, father."

"Go down!" Liu Qiqing yelled, "Go to your mother's side and have a look. A few days ago, someone kept your letter from me. Your mother doesn't know anything."

Xia Anran's eyes lit up, he happily agreed, and then retreated step by step to the door, before turning around and leaving, his posture and etiquette were correct.

Seeing this, Liu Qi hummed again.Liu Che hurriedly came over and continued to knock on the old father's back, while beating the corners of his mouth proudly, hey, hey hey, brother said he would guard the soil for me, hey hey.

Although Liu Qi said that Mrs. Jia had been kept in the dark during this time, and there were also some queens who wanted to make Xia Anran and Dou Wan help conceal it, but when Xia Anran said the first sentence to his mother, he knew Mrs. Jia already knew about it.

"How could you not find out?" Mrs. Jia smiled softly.She raised her hand to hold the young son's hand, then patted it lightly, and said rather slyly, "How can a mother fail to notice the change in her child? If it wasn't for my help, how could your marriage be delayed until today."

Xia Anran choked suddenly, showing a slightly aggrieved expression.Seeing him like this, Mrs. Jia stretched out her hand and gently pinched her son's cheek, "Do you dare to hide it from mother in the future?"

"Don't dare!" The little king looked around, saw that the servants in the palace lowered their heads knowingly, and then rubbed into his mother's arms and pampered him for a while.

Mrs. Jia hugged her youngest son tenderly, her eyes were tender and gentle, she patted her son lightly, "Sheng'er, are you happy?"

Xia Anran was taken aback for a moment, he looked up, and saw Mrs. Jia's eyes, as clear and bright as lake water, were looking closely at her.She is only in her thirties now, and looks delicate and beautiful, but compared to her appearance, the most neglected thing about this woman is her wisdom.

The woman repeated her question, "Are you happy? With him."

"Happy." Xia Anran paused, and then said many things that Dou Wan had done for him one by one. He wanted to say good things for Dou Wan, but when he said it, he felt a little hot on his face.

Mrs. Jia listened with a smile, her gaze slowly moved down to the top of the jade pendant that her son had gently pinched from time to time, she had good eyesight, so she could naturally see the patterns and simple carvings on it.

Mrs. Jia saw through everything, but Mrs. Jia didn't say anything, she just touched her son's bun lightly, "Sheng'er can do it if he's happy."

"When there is a chance in the future, bring him to meet his mother. At that time... Mother will drink him a cup of tea and give him a red envelope."

Xia Anran paused, and for some reason, a series of messy images suddenly flashed in his mind, the flickering white candle, the tablet placed on the table, the scene where a sitting woman handed a red seal to a man in white. flashed by.

--what is this?

He frowned, and before he had time to think about it, he heard an exclamation from outside, "It's a solar eclipse!"

eclipse?Xia Anran was startled, he quickly helped Mrs. Jia up, and ordered: "Light on the lamp first, light on the lantern, everyone get close to the light source, hurry up!"

In an era when heaven and man felt that there was no market, the panic caused by the solar eclipse was only the weather itself.

The palace people lit the lamps very quickly, thanks to Mrs. Jia's collection of many candles because of Xia Anran, now the palace people carefully guard the flames and walk around the palace with these candles.

A solar eclipse lasts basically no more than 10 minutes, and the most dangerous period is the two to three minutes when the sun is blocked or most of it is blocked. Mrs. Jia asked people to go out of the palace with a lantern to help illuminate the surrounding area. The queen also sent people out to maintain order.

Although the people in the palace were flustered, they were not panicked, and soon after the lamps were lit, the noise became quieter.Xia Anran also observed a solar eclipse at school when he was a child. At that time, everyone made sunglasses to observe it. But he was too young at that time, so he really couldn't remember the situation at that time.

Unexpectedly, he can now highlight the achievement of observing the solar eclipse in Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty. I don't know if it is a total solar eclipse or a partial eclipse.

Xia Anran squinted her eyes and glanced at the sky quietly. At this time, the solar eclipse had just started, and the sunlight was still bright, which was a bit glaring.He was looking for something to protect his eyes, but he saw Mrs. Jia very calmly raised a water basin, and the palace servants poured a lot of ink into it.

Mrs. Jia waved to the little king, her face was very kind, "Sheng'er wants to watch the solar eclipse, so just look into the basin, it won't hurt your eyes."

Xia Anran was shocked!

Flat mirror imaging!Mother actually thought of this method for the first time!In the end, who among us is the time traveler?At this moment, he deeply felt the torture from the soul.

The process of the solar eclipse was not long, because Mrs. Jia was well mobilized, the whole palace was very quiet, and even many palace ladies came together to watch the solar eclipse, the sun was covered little by little, and the world gradually turned dark. On the side, but the human beings who live towards the light still can't help but have a panic reaction.

Huddled, trembling, flustered, and walking around indiscriminately, almost at the moment when the sun was covered, screams came out again and again, and soon accompanied by the sharp sound of palace ladies hitting metal. At this time, myths and stories have not yet been widely spread According to legend, such expulsion is not to drive away the "tengu". On the one hand, it is to warn the crazy wild animals not to approach at this time, and on the other hand, it is also because such rhythmic sounds are more soothing to the mind.

He took a step sideways and protected Mrs. Jia behind him. In the dark night, he maximized his five senses.

This total solar eclipse didn't last long, and after about a minute or so, the sun gradually came out, and the cheers and knocks from the palaces became louder, and even the guarding soldiers of the Tingwei couldn't help but join in this action Among them, after 2 minutes, the daylight finally dispelled the night.

While everyone was cheering, Xia Anran heard Mrs. Jia sigh softly, he turned his head in doubt, and met Mrs. Jia's puzzled gaze, as innocent as if she had done nothing just now.

After the solar eclipse, Queen Wang quickly sent people to the palaces to inquire about the situation and treat the wounded.

Mrs. Jia's house was fine except for a servant who hit her leg while searching for a candle. Not many people were affected by this sudden solar eclipse, and most of them were injured by animals.Compared with psychologically prepared humans, animals, especially herbivores, are much more frightened by the sudden darkness.

The most serious thing was that a Lang official in Shanglinyuan was washing the horse at that time, but the frightened horse bumped and twisted his waist, and everything else was trivial.

However, although there is no such thing as heaven and man, as the "Son of Heaven", Liu Qi still has to make a show and hold a meeting to reflect on any mistakes that need to be corrected recently, and what policies have gone wrong recently, etc. In short, there are If there is nothing to change, it will be encouraged.

Everyone was quite relaxed when they went to court, but Liu Qi issued a decree at this time - ordering the princes and kings not to rule the country again.

At this time, Xia Anran's memorial order was still a half-finished product.

Because the little king who attended a court meeting was so rare now that he was shocked, the old man took his words away!He also used the solar eclipse as an excuse to promote it. At this time, all the princes and kings were in the capital, and Liu Qi said kindly at this time: "If you have any opinions, you can express them face to face with me."

Damn, the army is not here, and the people are still in the hands of the emperor, who can say anything?

This barrage flashed across the minds of the princes and kings—Jiang is really old and spicy.
